Abstract

In this paper, we use a pulse trigger to manipulate soliton-fission in supercontinuum generation process by modulation instability (MI) in ~picosecond pump scheme and we demonstrate the prior performance of generated supercontinuum compared to non-trigger situation. A distributed feedback (DFB) laser is modulated into a pulse source with a high repetition rate of 4GHz by pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and an adiabatic soliton compression (ASC) method is used to compress pulse width from 8.2ps to 3.3ps. It is observed that threshold of SC generation is relatively lower when the trigger is used. As pump light coupled with pulse trigger launch into a 400m high non-linear dispersion-shifted fiber (HNL-DSF), the generated supercontinuum is nearly 100nm wider in redshifted side and exhibit better stability than untriggered one.
