Abstract
We propose an alternative photonic scheme to generate a
doublet ultrawideband (UWB) pulse, which is based on the
combined use of nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) and
optical parametric amplification (OPA). The proposed scheme uses
NPR together with OPA in a highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted
fiber to produce an ideal transfer function with which input
Gaussian pulses are successfully converted into doublet pulses.
An experimental demonstration was carried out to verify the
working principle. The system performance of the generated UWB
doublet pulses was assessed by propagating them over a
20-km-long fiber link, followed by wireless transmission.
Error-free transmission was successfully achieved at a data rate
of 1.25 Gb/s.
