Abstract

A repetition rate and central frequency tunable THz order optical clock generated by a variable bandwidth spectrum shaper (VBS), a 48-channel, 100 GHz-channel-spacing spectrum equalizer (SE) and supercontinuum (SC) generator is proposed. The spectrum and autocorrelations of the generated optical clock are obtained.
