Abstract :
Summary form only given. Measurements on a multiwavelength laser source are reported. The source can emit cw simultaneously on 11 frequencies that are precisely spaced by 3.2 nm. Laser oscillation occurs on a single longitudinal mode with a 5 MHz linewidth. The 18 mm long cavity limits the direct modulation rate to 155 Mbps
