Abstract
An all-silicon nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) is integrated with a pulse-forming circuit in the form of a reverse-biased diode. Relatively short, e.g., 27 ps, optical signals can be generated from the all-silicon NLTL circuit by laser modulation of the electrical NTLT output in an electro-optical system.
