Broadband thermal light source, an optical transmission system using a broadband optical light source, use of broadband optical light source and a process for demultiplexing

摘要

A broadband optical light source 1 is proposed containing a laser diode and a modulator connected thereto as well as an emitter for amplified spontaneous emission. The optical input of the emitter for amplified spontaneous emission is connected to the output of the laser diode. Additionally an optical transmission system using a broadband optical light source is proposed. ;A broadband optical light source 1 is proposed comprising a laser diode and a modulator connected thereto as well as an emitter for amplified spontaneous emission. The optical input of the emitter for amplified spontaneous emission is connected to the output of the laser diode. The use of the broadband optical light source as logical decision unit or demultiplexer is also proposed.
