Abstract
Novel planar-lightwave-circuit-based pulse-train-generator devices designed for use as repetition-rate multipliers are experimentally investigated. In addition to arrayed waveguide grating-based pulse-train generators and loss-engineered devices which have been previously demonstrated, novel excitation-engineered structures are described which illuminate design constraints that impact the practical implementation of various device designs
