    摘要: A robust, compact optical pulse train source is described, with the capability of generating sub-picosecond micro-pulse sequences, which can be periodic as well as non-periodic, and at repetition rates tunable over decades of baseline frequencies, from MHz to multi-GHz regimes. The micro-pulses can be precisely controlled and formatted to be in the range of many ps in duration to as short as several fs in duration. The system output can be comprised of a continuous wave train of optical micro-pulses or can be programmed to provide gated bursts of macro-pulses, with each macro-pulse consisting of a specific number of micro-pulses or a single pulse picked from the higher frequency train at a repetition rate lower than the baseline frequency. These pulses could then be amplified in energy anywhere from the nJ to MJ range.

    摘要: A single-mode, single-polarization optical fiber ("PZ fiber") can have a large single-polarization wavelength bandwidth when .eta. (as herein defined) for one symmetry axis is positive when calculated from the refractive index profile determined with one of two orthogonal orientations of polarized light and is negative when calculated from the refractive index profile determined with the other orientation, and for each other symmetry axis of the novel optical fiber .eta. is positive for both orientations of plane polarized light. Preferably the absolute values for .eta. when positive and .eta. when negative are about equal for said one symmetry axis. A preferred PZ fiber can be formed by depositing siliceous layers onto the interior surface of a hollow substrate tube of quartz to provide a preform. After forming two parallel flat faces in its outer surface, the preform is pulled to form a PZ fiber having an ellipitcal stress-applying region.
