Y. Sakai et al., FDM OPTICAL SWITCHING OF 16 CHANNELS AT 5GBIT S DATA RATE USING AN SSG DBR LASER AND ARRAYED-WAVE-GUIDE GRATING/, Electronics Letters, 30(16), 1994, pp. 1300-1302
A frequency-division-multiplexed optical switching system is demonstra
ted with 5Gbit/s data in 16 channels. The frequency spacing of each ch
annel is 100GHz. A superstructure-grating distributed-Bragg-reflector
laser and an arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexer are, respectively,
used as the tunable light source and the optical router.
