System designers often treat nonlinearity as a set of penalties resulting from four wave mixing, self-phase modulation, and cross-phase modulation. The Brillouin effect, and the Raman effect can be assessed separately from each other and from noise and dispersion. In fact, the first three nonlinear effects mentioned, all of which stem from the Kerr effect, are tightly coupled to each other, and the separation of the Kerr effect into three separate effects is often ambiguous and can lead to wrong results. Additionally, the nonlinearity is coupled in a complex way to the noise and dispersion, so that a separate assessment of the penalties is usually unreliable.","PeriodicalId":133333,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Optical Fiber Communication Conference (","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127528351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the demand for the number of wavelengths in transport and local systems will continue to increase, new technological capabilities and designs for transmitters will be required to minimize the complexity and cost of the use of such large numbers of closely spaced wavelengths. Several approaches are being considered to address the wavelength stabilization and inventory issues. A very attractive solution to these problems is to use a wavelength-selectable laser. Wavelength-selectable source chips that can reach 4-6 channels have been reported, however reaching large numbers would heighten integration issues, such as yield and packaging. Recently, alternative approaches to multiwavelength sources (MWS) that can generate many or all of the system wavelengths have been reported. One of these sources consists of a mode-locked laser of the precise length to produce pulses at a repetition rate of 50 GHz and, hence, discrete cw frequency components with a separation of 50 GHz. Here we propose and demonstrate an MWS of cw wavelength channels that is based on a cw laser, external modulator, and the Kerr nonlinearity in an optical fiber.","PeriodicalId":133333,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Optical Fiber Communication Conference (","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122485231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
