M. Kawano et al., EXTREMELY LOW-POWER PENALTY IN 2.5-GB S TRANSMISSION EXPERIMENT USING1.55-MU-M MQW-DFB LASERS WITH OPTIMIZED QW NUMBER/, Microwave and optical technology letters, 7(3), 1994, pp. 150-152
For 1.55-mu m MQW-DFB lasers, the dependence of transmission character
istics under 2.5-Gb/s modulation on the number of wells is investigate
d experimentally and theoretically. The fiber length is 70 km and the
total dispersion is 1470 ps/nm. Extremely low power penalty of 1.3 dB
is obtained for a 12-well laser with large differential gain of 7.1 x
