Abstract

A compact transmitter optical sub-assembly (TOSA) has been developed for a 100 Gb/s Ethernet system with a long transmission distance of 40 km over single-mode fiber. The TOSA consists of electro-absorption modulator integrated distributed feedback laser diode arrays and a polarization beam combiner for wavelength multiplexing to obtain a high optical output power and a high dynamic extinction ratio. We confirmed that the TOSA successfully achieved an error-free four-lane $\times25.8~{\rm Gb}/{\rm s}$ transmission, i.e., a total bit-rate of 100 Gb/s, over 40 km.
