Abstract

A new photonic integrated circuit in the form of an optical pulse-train generator utilizes a time-interleaved architecture. The circuit can generate multiple optical pulses sequentially from a single trigger pulse, with the timing and amplitude of each pulse determined by circuit design. The circuit has application in optical arbitrary waveform generation and ultrafast electro-optic modulation.
