Abstract

We propose and analyze a photonic-assisted periodic triangular-shaped pulses generator, in which a continuous wave (CW) laser is connected to a dual electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (De-MZM), and then the De-MZM is connected with a normal dispersion fiber or element. A radio frequency (RF) sinusoid directly drives the De-MZM to obtain optical subcarrier modulation with optical carrier suppression. By carefully setting the physical parameters, the generated harmonics of optical intensity can be corresponding to the Fourier components of typical periodic triangular pulses. Numerical simulations reveal that modulation index must be set to 2.305 and bias voltage drift must be within a range from -2.5%-1.5% from the minimum transmission of the De-MZM. In addition, the dispersion must be set correctly to suppress the primary distortion of 4th order harmonics.
