Abstract

We report first measurements of the effect of optical feedback on the bit error rate (BER) as a function of received power of single longitudinal mode cleaved-coupled cavity (C3) and distributed-feedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers. Mode-partition noise, induced by the optical feedback, can cause a bit error-rate floor for large optical feedbacks, but it is shown that high-performance C3lasers and especially DFB lasers can withstand very large optical feedbacks without system degradation.
