Abstract

Possibilities of short light pulse formation using a controllable Fabri-Perot interferometer based on an optical fiber are considered. This controllable interferometer consists of four similar Bragg gratings which are set in a certain order in a fiber and which produce two interferometers. If the length of the first interferometer is 10 mm and the length of the second one is 67 mm, gratings reflection for Bragg wavelength equal 0.99 and when the power of 100 W comes to such an interferometer in a fiber then it is possible to obtain 10⁶ W power pulses with their duration of 0.64 • 10^-9 sec at period of repeats of 1.45 • 10^-5 sec at the output. Coefficient of efficiency is about 0.44.
