A high-performance 1.3 mm InGaAlAs electroabsorption modulator integrated with a DFB laser for the metro-area 100 Gbit/s Ethernet system (100GBASE-LR4 and -ER4) has been developed. 40 km transmission under 25 Gbit/s operation on singlemode fibre that is required for 100GBASE-ER4 application at 408C is demonstrated for the first time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
