Abstract
A spectral line-by-line pulse shaper is used to experimentally generate and deliver ~1 ps optical pulses of 31~124 GHz repetition-rates over 25.33 km single-mode fiber without dispersion-compensating fiber. The correlation of such delivery capability to temporal Talbot effect is experimentally demonstrated. Incorporating shaper periodic phase control, the repetition-rates of these ~1 ps optical pulses are further multiplied up to 496 GHz and delivered over 25.33 km single-mode fiber. © 2010 Optical Society of America.
