150 channel supercontinuum CW optical source with high SNR and precise 25 GHz spacing for 10 Gbit/s DWDM systems

A 150 channel multi-wavelength continuous wave (CW) optical source with precise 25 GHz spacing is successfully realised by longitudinal mode slicing of a supercontinuum spectrum. Confirmation is provided of the generation of more than 150 CW channels ranging from 1530 to 1560 nm with SNRs>28.2dB and Q-factors >20.8 dB which are sufficient for 10 Gbit/s multi-span dense wavelength division multiplexing transmission.
