Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) |
Organized by The Optical Society (OSA)
We demonstrate sub-nanosecond wavelength switching of a soliton microcomb laser, using a semiconductor optical amplifier-based wavelength selector. We demonstrate the proof-of-concept transmitting 50Gbps PAM4 and 25Gbps NRZ with an integrated wavelength selector.
