ELECTRO-OPTIC GATING ARRANGEMENT WITH IMPROVED DUTY CYCLE

摘要

The device includes an oscillator (1) to generate an electrical signal of a predetermined frequency and a signal divider (2) to split the electrical signal into first and second signals. The frequency of the second signal is tripled by tripler (3) and the tripled second signal is recombined with the first signal at signal adder (9) to produce a combined electrical signal. This combined electrical signal drives a Mach-Zehnder modulator (10).
