Abstract
A study has been conducted on a densely multiplexed 16-channel optical FDM system. A transmitter contains 16 two-section MQW DFB-LD's and a star coupler. An automatic optical multi-frequency controller stabilizes each LD of 10 GHz spacing within /spl plusmn/100-MHz accuracy. A receiver consists of heterodyne-delay-demodulators using a polarization diversity. Any desired channel can be tuned by a novel frequency discriminator with no insensitive frequency region. The system has successfully transmitted 622 Mb/s-16-channel HDTV signals through 110 km long 1.3 /spl mu/m-zero-dispersion fiber. We have also studied error rate degradation due to four-wave mixing in a 1.55 /spl mu/m-dispersion-shifted-fiber. Experimental results have revealed the allowable total input power to be +2 dBm for dispersion-shifted fibers.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
