Abstract
The limitations on high-speed data transmission, using widely tunable sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) lasers, are invest igated. We demonstrate 1.244-Gb/s data transmission over a wavelength range of 45 nm using a single directly modulated tunable SGDBR laser d iode. Data transmission was evaluated on four separate wavelength chan nels each spaced 15 nm apart. Less than 0.6 dB of dispersion penalty w as measured on all four channels for transmission over 50 km of standa rd single-mode optical fiber.
