Generation of 160-GHz sub-picosecond in-phase pulse train from optical beat signal

We propose a method to generate in-phase optical pulse train from optical beat signal based on four-wave mixing and asymmetric spectral filtering. A 160-GHz repeating, 0.7-ps-FWHM, nearly transform-limited, in-phase sech pulse train is successfully generated.
