Over-10 000-channel 2.5 GHz-spaced ultra-dense WDM light source

Abstract

Over-10 000-channel multi-carriers with uniform channel spacing of 2.5 GHz are generated from a supercontinuum (SC) multi-carrier source, which uses two parallel SC conversion sections. More than 3100 channels in the C+L-bands are confirmed to offer Q-factors sufficient for GbE transport.
