ABSTRACT:
A communications systems is characterized by a pulse-shaping technique for producing shaped, stabilized, ultra-short (picosecond to femtosecond) pulses containing encoded information. Pulse shaping is accomplished by temporally stretching and chirping an ultra-short pulse from a pulse generator, modulating the pulse in real time and temporally compressing the pulse in a manner so as to cancel the original chirp.
