Abstract :
We experimentally evaluate burst-mode operation of an RSOA-based self-seeded transmitter at 2.5 Gb/s by recognizing, during the cavity build-up, different evolution of the optical power, which reaches steady-state faster than the spectrum. BER curves explore both initial and full-regime roundtrips.
