A relatively simple way to produce THz bursts of optical pulses

We present the design, construction, and demonstration of a device to produce short, high‐frequency bursts of ultrashort optical pulses. Specifically, we use a folded delay line structure called the optical rattler to produce a 600‐GHz burst of 400‐fs pulses.
