  • Abstract
    We demonstrate widely tunable laser transmitters that can access 32 ITU channels with 100 GHz spacing and accurately switch between all channel combinations in less than 50 ns. The compact modules use commercially available components. We also show the correlation of switching times to laser tuning currents
