AI Article Synopsis
- This paper introduces a quantum dash (QD) laser using InAs/InP technology that operates in the C-band and is passively mode-locked, achieving a channel spacing of 34.224 GHz.
- The laser demonstrates a high data transmission capacity of 5.376 Tbit/s using PAM-4 modulation, both in back-to-back tests and over 25 kilometers of standard single mode fiber.
- This study marks the first instance of a QD laser operating error-free at that transmission capacity, showcasing its potential as a cost-effective optical source for data centers.
Article Abstract
This paper presents an InAs/InP quantum dash (QD) C-band passively mode-locked laser (MLL) with a channel spacing of 34.224 GHz. By using this QD-MLL we demonstrate an aggregate 5.376 Tbit/s PAM-4 data transmission capacity both for back-to-back (B2B) and over 25-km of standard single mode fiber (SSMF). This represents the first demonstration of QD-MLL acting as error-free operation at an aggregate data transmission capacity of 5.376 Tbit/s for some filtered individual channels. This finding highlights the viability for InAs/InP QD lasers to be used as a low-cost optical source for data center networks.
