Multichannel optical communications using tunable Fabry-Perot amplifiers

Abstract

We propose use of a tunable Fabry-Perot amplifier as a channel selector in multichannel optical communications systems. Simultaneous adjustment of temperature (±7°C) and current (±10% normalized change) leads to constant-gain and constant-bandwidth tuning. A 90% reflective coating on one amplifier facet is needed for a 1.5-GHz 3-dB bandwidth with a 25-dB facet-to-facet gain and leads to a possibility of thirty-channel transmission in the free spectral range of the amplifier with 5-GHz channel spacing and 20-dB adjacent channel suppression.
