Abstract
A high speed optical drop function was observed using the continuous a nd discontinuous tuning range of a two-electrode DFB laser. Transmissi on at 1.7 Gbit/s was examined, and the switching signal enabled two by tes to be dropped. This demonstration is suited to SDH or ATM transmis sion and confirms the interest in multielectrode sources for optical c rossconnect applications.
