In this paper, we report the experimental demonstration of an all‐optical fiber‐based 160‐GHz femtosecond pulse source exhibiting a duty cycle as low as 1/17. The 380‐fs wellseparated Gaussian pulses are generated thanks to the strong temporal compression of an initial beat‐signal propagating into three distinct segments of optical fiber. Experimental results are supported by numerical simulations based on the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. (© 2008 by Astro Ltd., Published exclusively by WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)
