Abstract
An actively mode-locked laser (MLLD) integrated with a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) was used as a light source for optical subcarrier transmission. The millimeter (mm)-wave power penalty due to fiber dispersion is suppressed within 4 dB by operating this laser in a symmetric four-mode configuration. The experimental results agree well with the calculation of dispersion-induced penalty for a four-component-lightwave source. Optical subcarrier transmission free from dispersion-induced penalty within experimental error is achieved by further suppression of the end-modes of the DBR-MLLD using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG).Keywords
