Abstract

Fast-switching tuneable lasers with a wide wavelength coverage and with noise and linewidth levels suitable for high-order modulation formats can facilitate the implementation of highly flexible and reconfigurable optical metro, access and inter/intra data center networks. In this work, we show the characterization of a tuneable laser capable of covering a wavelength range of 35 nm in the C-band with nanosecond switching time and low linewidth and use it to demonstrate 480 Gbit/s 16QAM transmission over 25 km of single-mode fiber for a wavelength range of 19 nm.
