ABSTRACT:
A light pulse generator is disclosed comprising an optical main-loop, a pumped-light source, a delay optical fiber, and an optical switch controller. The optical main-loop circulates a light and includes a light mixer, a light isolator, an erbium-doped optical fiber, an optical switch, a light divider, and an optical fiber coupler. The pumped-light source generates a pumped-light and introduces the pumped-light into the optical main-loop through the light mixer. The terminals of the delay optical fiber are connected to the optical fiber coupler so as to form an optical sub-loop for spreading a pulse width of a light pulse circulating in the optical main-loop. The optical switch controller switches the optical switch to an ON-state. As a result, a positive feedback amplification is carried out in the optical main-loop and an output light pulse having a sufficiently long pulse width and sufficiently high power is picked up from the optical loop through the light divider.
