Abstract
Optical pulse sources. In one example, the pulse source includes an optical fiber ring resonator with at least one normal dispersion fiber segment characterized by a positive group velocity dispersion (GVD) per unit length and at least one anomalous dispersion fiber segment characterized by a negative GVD per unit length. In another example, the pulse source includes an optical fiber ring resonator with one or more fiber segments having a positive net group velocity dispersion (GVD); and an intracavity spectral filter optically coupled to the one or more fiber segments. The pulse source is configured to generate one or more optical solitons in the optical fiber ring resonator.
