Abstract

In this paper, we propose a much compact ultrashort optical pulse repetition rate multiplication approach based on two-core-fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Since the temporal period is approximately inverse-proportional to its spectral spacing, the repetition rate of output pulses can be doubled (Multiplication factor N = 2) by selecting the proper modes and suppressing the undesired spectral lines. Influences of the input frequency deviation and the input/output coupling coefficients (Cin, Cout) on the quality of multiplied pulses are investigated. Results demonstrate that the multiplication scheme works well for the input frequency deviation of 3% and Cin (Cout) ranging from 0.4 to 0.6.
