A Supercontinuum Source Based On an Electroabsorption Modulated Laser
01 January 2000
We describe a 40-channel x 9.953 Gbit/s dense wavelength-division multiplexed (DWDM) transmitter based on spectrum-slicing of supercontinuum light generated from an electroabsorption-modulated laser (EML). Error-free transmission of all channels over 544 km of standard fiber is demonstrated.
