title: Novel approach for chirp and output power compensation applied to a 40-Gbit/s EADFB laser integrated with a short SOA.
abstract: We propose a novel approach for simultaneously controlling the chirp and increasing the output power of an EADFB laser by monolithically integrating a short-cavity SOA. We achieved a 40-Gbit/s 5-km SMF transmission at a wavelength of 1.55 μm by using an EADFB SOA with a lower power consumption than a stand-alone EADFB laser.
