Abstract

A single channel 100 Gb/s dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying transmission based on injection-locked broadband quantum-dash Fabry-Pérot laser, and employing external modulation, has been demonstrated. By employing a far L-band 1621-nm sub-carrier,-17.4-dBm sensitivity at the bit error rate 3.8 x 10-3 has been obtained after 10 km standard single mode fiber transmission. Besides, an injection locked mode wavelength tunability of 23 nm, which translates to 50 sub-carriers, is accomplished. These results favor the viability of deploying broadband quantum-dash lasers as unified upstream and downstream transmitters in next generation wavelength division multiplexed-based passive optical networks.
