Abstract
With increasing data transmission rates, pulsed lasers with high repetition rate are becoming increasingly important for future high-speed RZ data transmission systems operating at e.g. 100 Gbit/s. Also the upcoming 100 Gbit/s ethernet standard migth benefit from these lasers. Passively mode-locked Er:Yb:glass lasers represent a simple way to directly generate a high repetition rate pulse train in the telecom C-band. As the pulse generation is passive, no high frequency electronics is required, moreover good extinction ratio and low timing jitter are usually achieved [1], Here we demonstrate a system, which allows extending the operation range into the 100-GHz regime.
