Abstract
We demonstrate a 100 Gb/s short reach system using a multicarrier transmitter based on a gain switched monolithically integrated laser. An optical comb source with 12.5-GHz free spectral range is achieved by gain-switching an integrated passive feedback laser. The 100 Gb/s wavelength division multiplexed, single sideband, direct detection, orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (WDM-SSB-DD-OFDM) system operates over 25 km standard single mode fiber exhibiting a spectral efficiency of 1.8 b/s/Hz. Receiver sensitivity of –14.2 dBm is achieved after 25 km transmission. Performance optimization with phase and amplitude precompensation is employed to improve the SSB OFDM modulation thereby reducing the interchannel interference and overcoming the power fading induced by the optical filter. We also present a theoretical analysis of the SSB-OFDM modulation.
