Experimental Generation and Time Multiplexing of Data-Carrying Nyquist Sinc Shaped Channels from a Single Microresonator-Based Kerr Frequency Comb

We experimentally achieve optical time multiplexing of multiple Nyquist channels. A single microresonator Kerr comb allows the generation of multiple Nyquist sinc shaped pulse trains. TDM of pulse trains are obtained through wavelength conversion inside a PPLN.
