Abstract

Optical injection locking is used to increase the modulation bandwidth and suppress chirp in a single-channel, single-polarization discrete multi-tone bit-loading-optimized transmitter. Transmission through a hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber with negligible signal degradation and distortion is demonstrated.
