Abstract:For several years tunable lasers and other WDM sources has been as one of the hottest components topics in photonics, but like other areas the downturn has hit hard. In this paper we will describe the latest developments in the area of optical sources for DWDM systems, including tunable lasers and multiwavelength sources, and we will look at the companies (still) competing in this area. We will start by introducing the basic technologies used for DWDM sources. After that we will give an overview of the source … Show more
