Ultra low power consumption operation of SOA assisted extended reach EADFB laser (AXEL)
We propose a novel structure to reduce the power consumption and extend the transmission distance of a 10-Gbit/s, 1.55-µm EADFB laser. The power consumption is reduced by 1/2 and the transmission distance is extended.
Novel approach for chirp and output power compensation applied to a 40-Gbit/s EADFB laser integrated with a short SOA.
We propose a novel approach for simultaneously controlling the chirp and increasing the output power of an EADFB laser by monolithically integrating a short-cavity SOA. We achieved a 40-Gbit/s 5-km SMF transmission at a wavelength of 1.55 μm by using an EADFB SOA with a lower power consumption than a stand-alone EADFB laser.
Wide temperature range, from 0 to 85/spl deg/C, operation of a 1.55 /spl mu/m, 40 Gbit/s InGaAlAs electro-absorption optical modulator
Wide temperature range, from 0 to 85°C, operation of 1.55 µm, 40 Gbit/s InGaAlAs multiple quantum well electro-absorption optical modulators is demonstrated for the first time.
