Abstract :
A new form of diode laser source for wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) applications is reported. The source has been designed to operate in systems requiring wavelength separations between channels of more than 1 nm and provides exact control of channel separation with low crosstalk. Simultaneous multiwavelength generation is also possible.
