By spectrally slicing a high power 10 GHz femtosecond source, the authors have successfully generated 10 GHz pulse trains at 16 wavelengths separated by 1 nm. The typical pulse has a duration of 14 ps, a spectral width of 0.2 nm, and a time-bandwidth product of 0.35. The average powers directly at the output of the spectral slicing filter range from 0.5 to 2.2 mW per channel.
