Abstract
Laser pulse shaping techniques produce tailored laser pulse spectral output. The laser pulses can be programmed to have desired pulse widths and pulse shapes (such as sub-nanosecond to 10 ns-20 ns pulse widths with 1 ns to several nanoseconds leading edge rise times). Preferred embodiments are implemented with one or more electro-optical modulators receiving drive signals that selectively change the amount of incident pulsed laser emission to form a tailored pulse output. Triggering the drive signal from the pulsed laser emission suppresses jitter associated with other stages of the link processing system and substantially removes jitter associated with pulsed laser emission build-up time.
