Abstract

For the frequency-division-multiple-access-frequency-shift-keying (FDMA-FSK) network, the FSK signal is converted to amplitude-shift-keyed (ASK) format by a tunable fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filter that acts simultaneously as a demodulator and demultiplexer. Frequency-tunable two-electrode distributed-feedback (DFB) laser transmitters produce distorted FSK spectra due to nonuniform FM response for modulation frequencies above approximately 200 Mb/s. The frequency-domain properties of the laser are related directly to the time-domain properties of the transmitted data stream. The critical dependence on the FFP passband width and center frequency location for undistorted signal recovery is shown. By optimizing these parameters, the data transmission rate can be increased while keeping the power penalty due to signal distortion below 1 dB.<>
