Abstract
Operation of a continuous-fiber modulator based on coupling from a fiber side-polished beyond cut-off to a multimode planar waveguide has been demonstrated for the first time at gigahertz frequencies. The bandwidth of the modulator electrode structure was /spl sim/4 GHz while the optical insertion loss was measured at <0.5 dB. The device was used to produce mode-locked pulse trains in an erbium fiber laser at repetition rates of /spl sim/3 GHz.Keywords
