Simultaneous modulation of several WDM channels using a single electro-absorption modulator

A characterisation has been undertaken of the simultaneous modulation of several fibre optical WDM channels employing a single electro-absorption modulator operating at 10 GHz. This experimental investigation has demonstrated that sub 8 ps pulses can be generated over a 19 nm wavelength range under...

Description
Summary:A characterisation has been undertaken of the simultaneous modulation of several fibre optical WDM channels employing a single electro-absorption modulator operating at 10 GHz. This experimental investigation has demonstrated that sub 8 ps pulses can be generated over a 19 nm wavelength range under fixed operating conditions.
