Abstract
A gain-flattened multiwavelength modelocked semiconductor laser generated 750 MHz pulse trains simultaneously into 168 discrete wavelength channels. It was shown that optical time division multiplexing multiplied the pulse-repetition rate to 6 GHz per channel to yield an aggregate pulse rate of 1 THz. The results showed the potential of multiwavelength modelocked semiconductor lasers as an appealing option for data transmission in cost-effective wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) local area or access networks.
