Abstract
- Abstract: In this paper we report on the characterization of a narrow linewidth three-section tunable slotted Fabry–Perot laser. The SMSR of the 25 available 100-GHz ITU channels is above 30dB, whereas their average linewidth is 538kHz with a maximum below 800kHz. The RIN spectra of six different channels are also measured and a maximum average RIN of −135dB/Hz is obtained. The linewidth effect of the laser in a 1.25Gb/s DPSK transmission system is investigated by comparing the performance between the slotted Fabry–Perot laser and a commercial SG-DBR laser respectively. Error free transmission of the slotted Fabry-Perot laser shows the benefit of the narrow linewidth of the device for systems employing advanced modulation formats. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
