More than 1000 channel optical frequency chaingeneration from single supercontinuum source with 12.5 GHz channel spacing

Abstract

More than 1000 optical frequency channels are generated with 12.5 GHz spacing from a single supercontinuum source. 600–700 channels for the wavelength range 1512–1580 nm are confirmed to offer SNRs and Q factors sufficient for multi-span 2.5 Gbit/s DWDM transmission.
