Background:

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology offers high data rates and spectral efficiency.
Efficient generation and distribution of UWB signals are crucial for advanced communication systems.
Existing methods for UWB signal generation and multicasting can be complex and costly.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and demonstrate an all-optical scheme for generating and multicasting multiple ultra-wideband signals.
To utilize a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) for UWB signal generation and manipulation.
To achieve simultaneous generation of various UWB pulse types (monocycle and doublet) from a single input pulse.

Main Methods:

An all-optical setup employing a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) was designed and implemented.
A single Gaussian optical pulse was used as the input source for UWB signal generation.
Generated UWB signals were modulated with a 2(15)-1 pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) for multicasting demonstration.

Main Results:

Simultaneous generation of five UWB signals (one monocycle and four doublet pulses) was achieved.
Fractional bandwidths of approximately 100% for monocycle pulses and 100%-133% for doublet pulses were obtained.
Error-free performance was demonstrated for each multicast channel after PRBS modulation.

Conclusions:

The proposed all-optical NOLM scheme provides an effective method for simultaneous UWB signal generation and multicasting.
The system successfully generated UWB signals with wide fractional bandwidths.
The demonstrated error-free multicasting highlights the potential of this approach for future optical communication networks.
