A novel scheme for tunable optical pulse generation based on fiber Sagnac loop

A novel scheme for tunable optical pulse generation based on fiber Sagnac loop was proposed. The repetition rate of optical pulse is twice the frequency of external square wave modulation signal and can be tuned directly by varying modulation frequency. Experimental results agree well with theoretical predictions and simulations.
