Abstract
A semiconductor saturable absorber based on a heavy-ion-irradiated quantum well vertical cavity is implemented in a 10Gbitis RZ loop transmission. Ind uced reduction of amplified spontaneous emission accumulation is experiment ally demonstrated for the first time to improve the error-free transmission distance by a factor of 2.5.
