Wavelength Multicasting and Amplification of 5 Gb/s Data in the 2 Micron Band
conference paper
We report wavelength multicasting to three 5Gb/s channels around 1950nm via broadband four-wave-mixing between RZ-OOK modulated pump and O-band signals. The thulium-assisted configuration enables high fidelity copying and output powers of 10’s of mW.
