Abstract

An optical pulse generator for producing a soliton pulse train having a modulator which amplitude and phase modulates an optical frequency output of a continuous optical wave source. The modulator is driven by first and second harmonically related continuous sinusoidal waves from first and second CW voltage sources and the generator includes a pulse compression means for producing at the output of the generator a soliton pulse train.
