100 mW spectrally-uniform broadband ASE source for spectrum-sliced WDM systems

摘要

A <100 mW source of broadband ASE with exceptionally flat spectral density and 22 nm bandwidth is presented. The source is ideally suited for spectrum-sliced WDM systems. Data transmission at 622 Mbit/s using a spectrally-sliced channel tuned over a 15 nm range is demonstrated.
