Abstract :
Summary form only given. The RZ format is being considered for us in 10 Gb/s transoceanic transmission systems, requiring inexpensive, compact, and jitter-free optical pulses. The authors introduce a direct laser modulation 1551 nm DFB laser at 81.8 mA, modulated with 6.5 dBm of RF power at 9.953 GHz, producing a phase modulated signal with a small 44% intensity modulation.
