400-Gb/s direct modulation using a DFB+R laser

Opt Lett. 2020 Jun 15;45(12):3337-3339. doi: 10.1364/OL.392873.

Abstract

We demonstrate a direct-modulation and direct-detection system with a back-to-back line rate of 411.6 (net bit rate of 337.5) Gb/s using a 65 GHz DFB+R laser. The O-band laser with a chirp parameter of 0.6 supports dispersion-tolerant transmissions up to 15 km without an optical amplifier.
