Abstract :
We propose a multi-wavelength light source composed of an arrayed waveguide grating and a fiber loop with an optical single-side band modulator. In spite of no feedback control techniques for stabilization, we successfully generated 20 channels of lightwaves with a stable interval of 50 GHz.
