Description
Summary:International audience The future technology migration in access networks compels the development of key innovative transmitters operating at 10 Gb/s around 1550 nm and capable of transmitting data in extended reach passive optical networks (>60 km). A laser modulated directly appears to be a low cost and a simple solution to address these needs. However, the extinction ratio and the distance of transmission are limited by frequency chirping inherent to high bit rate modulation at 1550 nm. In this letter, we demonstrate the monolithic integration of a directly modulated lasers and a ring resonator (RR) and show the possibility to engineer the RR with specific frequency modulation efficiency. The ring is used as an optical eye reshaper, which enables the increase of the extinction ratio above 9 dB. Transmissions up to 65 km with 5.8 dBm of modulated optical power coupled into the fiber are demonstrated, proving the feasibility of our transmitter for the next generation passive optical network stage 2
