Abstract
This paper highlighted the simulative study of the best selection of various light sources for the improvement of the optical peak pulse power and energy with the management for time bandwidth product of an ultrashort optical pulse train. Pulse duty cycle, rectangular/Gaussian pulse peak power, Sech pulse peak power, pulse separation, average pulse intensity, peak intensity and total pulse energy are measured against the pulse duration at 10 MHz repetition rate, 1 mW average power and 1 mm spot diameter. Pulse energy, average pulse intensity, and peak pulse intensity variations are clarified against the repetition rate and average power variations at 1 mm spot diameter. Time bandwidth product, Gaussian chirp parameter and Accumulated group delay dispersion variations are demonstrated versus spectral laser source wavelength and spectral width at 10 ns pulse duration. Time bandwidth product and Gaussian chirp parameter are also clarified against laser spectral line width at first/second/third/fourth spectral operating wavelength windows.
