Picosecond duration, large amplitude impulse generation using electrical soliton effects

We report two devices which generate picosecond duration electrical impulses using soliton propagation effects. A high repetition-rate device has generated an 8.1 Vp-p (87 mAp-p), 4.5 ps full width at half-maximum (FWHM) impulse train at a 31.5 GHz rate. A high compression ratio device has generated...

Description
Summary:We report two devices which generate picosecond duration electrical impulses using soliton propagation effects. A high repetition-rate device has generated an 8.1 Vp-p (87 mAp-p), 4.5 ps full width at half-maximum (FWHM) impulse train at a 31.5 GHz rate. A high compression ratio device has generated an 11.4 Vp-p (122 mAp-p), 5.1 ps FWHM impulse train at a 9 GHz rate (sinusoidal input), and a 12.1 Vp-p (130 mAp-p), 4.9 ps FWHM impulse train at a 3.22 GHz repetition rate (28 ps FWHM impulse-train input).
