Abstract
The authors report on the generation of optical pulses at repetition rate integer multiples of the RF drive frequency from a harmonically driven actively modelocked fibre ring laser. Optical pulses at repetition rates 21 GHz and 14 GHz are generated solely by controlling the RF drive frequency to the modulator.Keywords
