Abstract :
In conclusion, we have demonstrated a multilevel digital modulation scheme in a fiber-optic communications link, using multiple light sources integrated on a single chip and enabling enhanced transmission performance. This scheme allows correction for changes in the output power characteristics of the light sources and is easy to implement, particularly with arrays of laser diodes
