Using an optical equalizer to transmit a 43-Gb/s signal with an 8-GHz bandwidth modulator

We demonstrate that a simple general optical equalizer permits the generation of 42.7-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero data from an 8-GHz bandwidth LiNbO/sub 3/ modulator. The sensitivity at 10/sup -9/ bit-error ratio is only 1 dB poorer than using a 36-GHz bandwith modulator. Since the equalizer can act on many channels simultaneously and be used in a set-and-forget mode, we can potentially reduce the cost of 40-Gb/s transmitters.
