Abstract: | We demonstrate 1.25-Gb/s operation at 50-GHz channel spacing and 10-km single-mode fiber, which is based on a wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode (F-P LD) and an intensity noise suppression by a gain saturation of F-P LD in front of the receiver. The wavelength-locked F-P LD employs the spectrum-sliced incoherent light with narrow bandwidth of 35 GHz. The intensity noise of wavelength-locked F-P LD is suppressed about 6 dB by the F-P LD in the front of the receiver. As a result, the bit-error-rate curves exhibit the error-free performances over the detuning conditions to cover a whole mode spacing period of F-P LD. |
