Abstract :
A 20 wavelength optical WDM transmitter capable of transmitting 12 ps pulses at 5 Gbit/s for an aggregate rate of 100 Gbit/s has been experimentally demonstrated, based on a modelocked semiconductor laser. Temporal synchronisation and wideband spectral correlation between the multiwavelength pulses are also achieved
