Abstract
Tunable optical band-pass filter (TOBPF) composed of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is proposed for multi-wavelength optical fiber transport systems. Experimental results prove that through properly adjusting VCSEL driving current, one of multiple injected lightwaves can properly flow through the proposed optical filter and others will be attenuated roughly 12 dB. Furthermore, by changing the VCSEL driving current, the pass-band window of the VCSEL-based TOBPF can be shifted to align with different designated injected lightwave and to block the others. By employing the TOBPF in multi-wavelength optical fiber transport systems, proper eye diagrams are experimentally observed for each dedicated optical signal. The proposed scheme is shown to be a practical and flexible component for multi-wavelength optical fiber transport systems.
