optical pulse train by using a spectral filter to remove unwanted frequency components. A
stable 58.5-GHz soliton pulse source at 1542 nm is filtered with a Fabry-Perot interferometer
to achieve 117 and 175.5 GHz output pulse trains. This scheme is generally applicable to
rate multiplication of mode-locked pulse trains using various types of spectral filters. All-
optical rate conversion of continuous pulse trains may find applications in time division …
