Abstract
We describe a 40-channel x 9.953 Gbit/s dense wavelength-division multiplex ed (DWDM) transmitter based on spectrum-slicing of supercontinuum light gen erated from an electroabsorption-modulated laser (EML). Error-free transmis sion of all channels over 544 km of standard fiber is demonstrated.
