Time-resolved linewidth measurements of a wavelength switched SG-DBR laser for optical packet switched networks.
In: OFC/NFOEC 2008 - 2008 Conference on Optical Fiber Communication/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference, 24-28 Feb 2008, San Diego, CA, USA.
We report time-resolved linewidth measurements of different sizes of optical packets under wavelength-switching for the first time and show that laser linewidth is significantly broadened during switching transition requiring ~3 mus to attain its minimum value.
