Abstract :
Here we report on transmission with an uncooled directly-modulated Fabry-Perot InAlGaAs multi-quantum-well laser at 1310 nm over 11 ps/nm dispersion and operating at temperatures from 0 C to 85 C with transmission penalty less than 1 dB. This would allow transmission over 3 km of single-mode fiber.
