Abstract :
Mode-locked and relative intensity noise (RIN) of hybrid soliton pulse source (HSPS) utilizing raised-cosine fiber Bragg grating is described using couple-mode equations including spontaneous emission noise. It is found that soliton type pulse is generated only limiting tuning range with and without noise. RIN peak does not locate at the fundamental frequency that shows optical resonance due to cavity roundtrip time.
