Photonic integrated circuit comprising mode-locked laser and pulse interleaver for wavelength tunable THz signal generation

Abstract:

We report a photonic chip comprising multiple colliding pulse mode-locked laser and delay line-Assisted Mach-Zehnder interleaver to generate 350GHz wave signal. With this mode-locked laser fourth harmonics are obtained. The interleaver quadruples the repetition rate. An integrated phase modulator enables wavelength tuning up to 0.03nm.
