Photonic Integrated Gain Switched Optical Frequency Comb for Spectrally Efficient Optical Transmission Systems

We demonstrate the performance of a novel integrated gain switched optical frequency comb source (GS-OFCS) in two different optical transmission systems. The device generates a 6.25-GHz frequency spaced comb that comprises eight spectral tones in a 3-dB spectral power ripple. The GS-OFCS presents go...
