Abstract

Multifunctional operation of a monolithic active/passive mode locked DBR laser for 4/spl times/10 Gb/s OTDM realized by low cost 2"-technology is demonstrated with excellent device performance at STM-64 frequency: nearly time-bandwidth limited (<0.4) pulses (<10 ps), large pulse extinction (>20 dB) and optical clock recovery (10 GHz) from 40 Gb/s data.
