Abstract :
A 150 channel multi-wavelength CW optical source with precise 25 GHz spacing is successfully realized by longitudinal mode slicing of a supercontinuum spectrum. We confirm the generation of more than 150 CW channels ranging from 1530 to 1560 nm with SNRs over 28.2 dB and Q-factors over 20.8 dB which are sufficient for 10 Gbit/s multi-span DWDM transmission.
