LOW-COST COOLERLESS INTEGRATED LASER-MODULATOR FOR 10 GBIT/S TRANSMISSIONS AT 1,5 MICRO-M

For short and medium reach network applications, a low-cost and high performance integrated laser-electroabsorption modulator source for 1.5 mu m transmissions is proposed. Coolerless and isolator-free 10 Gbit/s transmission over 50 km, for temperature ranging from 10 to 80 degrees C is demonstrated.
