Time-resolved linewidth measurements of a wavelength switched SG-DBR laser for optical packet switched networks

We report time-resolved linewidth measurements of different sizes of optical packets under wavelength-switching for the first time and show that laser linewidth is significantly broadened during switching transition requiring ~3 μs to attain its minimum value.
