Abstract :
A 10 GHz similariton pulse train is generated from a 1.2 km-long erbium-doped fibre amplifier and applied to a multi-wavelength pulse source. Slicing the spectrum of the similariton pulse train, a 10 Gbit/s transmitter was constructed, which has excellent Q-factors of over 25.3 dB in the entire bandwidth. Such uniform characteristics of the sliced pulse train originate from the high spectral flatness of the similariton.
