Abstract
A light source including: a pulse generator for providing a first sequence of light pulses, the first sequence of light pulses including a first number of light pulses within a predetermined time period, a manipulator configured to generate a second sequence of light pulses from the first sequence of light pulses, the second sequence of light pulses having a second number of light pulses within the predetermined time period, the second number being different from the first number, and a nonlinear optical element arranged to receive the second sequence of light pulses.
Claims31
A light source comprising:
- a pulse generator configured to provide a first sequence of light pulses, the first sequence of light pulses having a first number of light pulses in a predetermined time period;
- a modulator configured to increase or decrease the first number of light pulses provided by the pulse generator in the predetermined time period, thereby providing a modulated sequence of light pulses, said modulated sequence including bursts of light pulses;
- and
- a nonlinear optical fiber configured to receive the modulated sequence of light pulses and generate a sequence of broadband light pulses from said modulated sequence of light pulses.
