800 Mb/s optical-repeater experiment
Abstract
An optical-transmission error-rate experiment is described in which the carrier generator is a directly modulated double heterojunction AlGaAs laser. It is shown that 800 Mb/s modulation can be achieved with sufficiently high quality that the received signal can be regenerated with error rates in accordance with predictions based on Personick's theory.
