Electronic mitigation of the filter concatenation effect of low-cost 2.5 Gb/s rated DMLs sources operated at 10 Gb/s

We experimentally investigate (using a re-circulating loop) the benefit of electronic equalization in the mitigation of filter concatenation effects for low-cost DML transmitters rated for 2.5 Gb/s but operated at 10 Gb/s, applicable in transparent metro networks.
