Experimental analysis of SCM-based transmission over 500 m of FDDI-grade multimode fiber with enhancement from electronic equalization

Experimental analysis is applied for the first time to identify optimal launch conditions and carrier frequencies for SCM transmission over worst-case MMF. Potential for performance enhancement using electronic equalization is demonstrated for the first time. © 2006 Optical Society of America.

1.55-μm VCSEL transmission performance up to 20 Gb/s for access networks

We experimentally demonstrate for the first time 1.55μm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) transmission over 6.5 km single mode fiber (SMF) at 20 Gb/s for optical access networks. Characterization of the device is also investigated. © 2009 IEEE.
