We introduce a new family of equivalent periodic phase-only filtering configurations that can be used for implementing the Talbot-based pulse rate multiplication technique. The introduced family of periodic Talbot filters allows one to design a desired pulse repetition rate multiplier with an unprecedented degree of freedom and flexibility. Moreover, these filters can be implemented using all-fiber technologies, and in particular (superimposed) linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings. The design specifications and associated constraints of this new class of Talbot filters are discussed.
