| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A simple laser configuration of a multi-wavelength optical pulse generator with a certain relative delay was investigated aiming at application to the sequentially timed all-optical mapping photography (STAMP). Wavelength-multiplexed optical pulses with a duration of 17 ps were generated by applying an electrical pulse to a Mach-Zehnder modulator and phase modulator, and the relative delay was controlled by a wavelength of seed lasers or optical fiber length. Further reduction of the pulse duration is expected when a chirp in the phase modulator is enhanced. The proposed configuration will be suitable for cost-effective measurements with the STAMP.
