摘要：
A stable optical beat-signal with frequency GHz is produced by injection-locking two narrow-linewidth semiconductor lasers emitting at frequencies spaced by the beat-frequency to a low-jitter 10-GHz optical comb. The generated beat-signal with broadband noise suppression of dB is temporally compressed by factors of up to four in a high stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold aluminosilicate highly nonlinear fiber. The generated subpicosecond pulses have a root mean square (rms) timing jitter below 150 fs measured over 1 s.
