10 Gb/s Coherent System Deploying Stable, Low Linewidth Phase Locked Loop

We demonstrate a coherent heterodyne receiver module with -31 dBm sensitivity for unpreamplified 10 Gb/s on/off keying. An automatic frequency control loop was implemented for field deployability and operational simplicity and reliability
