Abstract

A 1.3 µm, 50 Gbit/s electroabsorption modulator integrated with a DFB laser for future parallel LAN, the total data rate of which is over 100 Gbit/s, is developed. Very clear eye openings after 40 km transmission under 50 Gbit/s operation on singlemode fibre are demonstrated for eight wavelengths with discrete packages for the first time.
