Abstract
We demonstrate a multiwavelength synchronized pulse generation, which utilizes a single semiconductor-optical-amplifier-based delayed interferometric switch. Simultaneous 16-channel pulse trains with wide pulsewidth tunability, up to the unity duty-ratio, have been successfully obtained at 10 Gb/s. The transmitter has a compact and functional configuration in comparison with supercontinuum light source.Keywords
