Abstract:
We propose and demonstrate novel RSOA design with segmented electrodes to enhance the modulation cancelling effect without sacrificing the bandwidth for self-seeded colorless WDM transmitter applications. Optimal driving condition is derived numerically and confirmed experimentally at 10 Gb/s.
