- Abstract
- We present the flat-top supercontinuum source with high repetition rate over a broad bandwidth. The flatness and high repetition rate are achieved by iterative optical line-by-line spectrum shaping on electro-optic optical frequency combs. By applying Gaussian apodized pulse train to a highly nonlinear medium with optimized Gaussian coefficient and nonlinear polarization rotation techniques, we implemented here a flat-top supercontinuum with a 47.7 nm bandwidth at 3 dB and 30 GHz repetition rate. The generation of high repetition rate supercontinuum sources with smooth and coherent spectrum is the critical challenging task for many applications such as optical communications and the optical arbitrary waveform generation. This work leads us to new possibilities for generating hundreds or thousands of flattened coherent optical carriers with a simple configuration.
