Abstract :
We propose a new method of pulse repetition frequency multiplication in active harmonically mode -locked fibre ring lasers. The method is based on cavity length tailoring which is realised via composite cavity structure. Optical pulses with a repetition frequency of 20.86 GHz are generated using a modulation signal frequency of 3.477 GHz. The generated pulses show high stability in terms of extremely low amplitude noise and timing jitter.
