Abstract

Two 78-cm long electrooptic fibers with nonlinear coefficient χ(2) ~0.26 pm/V are used in a Sagnac loop for pulse selection at up to 1 MHz repetition rate. Laser pulses of 1.5 µm wavelength arriving at every 140 ns are selected with an extinction ratio as high as −30 dB. The arrangement is entirely based on silica fiber.
