Abstract
Experimental results are presented which describe the use of commercially-available 790 nm selfpulsating lasers in subcarrier multiple-access, computer networking applications. At selfpulsation frequencies of 1.8 and 2.2 GHz, error-free aggregate data throughputs of 450 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s were obtained over a mode-selective, eight-way star optical network with baseband plus two channel BPSK and five channel QPSK modulation formats, respectively.
