Dynamic linewidth measurement technique using digital intradyne coherent receivers
This work in collaboration with Oclaro (Mike Wale) is the first demonstration of technique that can be used to characterize the frequency variation of low cost fast-tunable semiconductor lasers under wavelength switching to determine their suitability for use in next generation 100Gbit/s optically switched networks such as an upgraded Intune Networks (http://www.intunenetworks.com, John Dunne) Optically Switched Network and to allow for DSP based compensation of the frequency variation. This work is also been exploited in the 3M€ PIANO+ EU/TSB funded project CRITICAL (UCL £302k) to realize DSP based compensation for low-cost coherent receivers for access networks.
