Abstract
Self--switching facilitates the generation of pulsed lasers without resorting to conventional -switched techniques, while there has been limited research and theoretical development in this area. In this paper, we introduce an interference-based self--switching phenomenon and conduct a comprehensive numerical analysis. Our findings reveal distinct properties when compared to traditional -switching, underscoring the role of interferometers. Through a combination of experimental measurements and waveguide simulations, we propose a self--switching mechanism based on jitter-induced filtering. This mechanism aligns well with our experimental observations and provides an explanation from the perspective of the frequency domain. This research contributes to the understanding of self--switching theory and its excitation.
