Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel modulation scheme in which both data-encoding and pulse generation are achieved using a single, wavelength tunable, integrated semiconductor laser/modulator. Data-encoded, near-transform limited 66 ps pulses are obtained at 2.5 Gbit/s and BER performance is reported.<>
