Abstract

A stable 40 GHz-spacing optical-combs are generated using a single supercontinuum source pumped by an optically multiplexed 40 GHz, 2-ps mode-locked semiconductor laser diode. A distribution over the 80 km WDM fiber link of more than 80 lines of 40 GHz-spacing optical-comb ranged from 1533 nm to 1610 nm, which cover the C-and L-band in the WDM optical fiber networks, are experimentally demonstrated.
