Abstract

An all-optical ultrawideband monocycle generator based on wavelength conversion in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and optical tunable delay in an optical delay line (ODL) is proposed and simulated. The system achieves optically switchable in pulse polarity and tunable in both the pulsewidth and radio frequency (RF) spectrum.
