Abstract
A characterisation has been undertaken of the simultaneous modulation of se veral fibre optical WDM channels employing a single electro-absorption modu lator operating at 10 GHz. This experimental investigation has demonstrated that sub 8 ps pulses can be generated over a 19 nm wavelength range under fixed operating conditions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
