Abstract

I show how removal of the central optical frequencies from the output of an externally phase-modulated, single-frequency laser results in a dual-wavelength source of high-quality pulse trains for wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton transmission and describe successful experimental demonstration of such sources in the 2.5–12.6-Gbit/s range.
