A 36 channel x 10 GHz spectrally sliced pulse source based on supercontinuum generation in normally dispersive highly nonlinear holey fibre
We demonstrate a spectrally sliced pulse source which utilizes supercontinuum generated in a normally dispersive holey fiber and spectral slicing in an arrayed waveguide grating. All 36 10-GHz channels exhibit almost constant pulsewidth and excellent noise properties, as verified by bit-error-rate m...

Summary: | We demonstrate a spectrally sliced pulse source which utilizes supercontinuum generated in a normally dispersive holey fiber and spectral slicing in an arrayed waveguide grating. All 36 10-GHz channels exhibit almost constant pulsewidth and excellent noise properties, as verified by bit-error-rate measurements. |
