Abstract
Aiming at the application of supercontinuum (SC) generated from a fiber with a normal group-velocity dispersion (GVD) to multiwavelength transmitters, we theoretically study the enhancement of optical-amplifier noise in the SC-generation and spectrum-slicing processes. We find that significant enhancement of noise is not observed in these processes. The bit error rate measurement actually shows that the power penalty induced by these processes is less than 1 dB in all spectrum-sliced channels. These results assure low noise of the multiwavelength transmitter using spectrum-sliced SC generated in a normal GVD fiber.Keywords
