10 Gbit/s, 50 km dispersive fibre transmission experiment using strained multiquantum-well DFB laser diode

Abstract
A long dispersive fibre transmission experiment is achieved at 10 Gbit/s using a 1.3 μm strained multiquantum well DFB laser diode (S-MQW DFB-LD). The linewidth enhancement factor of the S-MQW DFB-LD is found to be as low as 1, which is less than one-third that of conventional bulk DFBLDs.
