| Zusammenfassung | An optical frequency comb generator (OFCG) based on a simple electro-optic modulator in an optical resonator can produce picosecond pulses with-high repetition rate. Unlike conventional picosecond lasers, the properties of these pulses are greatly effected by detuning of the optical cavity, and dispersion caused by the electro-optic crystal. Picosecond pulses were studied in a physical device using numerical simulation and intensity autocorrelation measurements. The pulse width and pulse-to-pulse spacing were greatly affected by detuning between the input laser frequency and resonance of the optical resonator, and the numerical simulations showed that dispersion causes temporal ripples that are antisymmetric between pulse pairs. |
