56Gb/s PDM-BPSK experiment with a novel InP-monolithic source based on prefixed optical phase switching

A novel monolithic QPSK-ready transmitter source based on prefixed phase switching by fast EAMs has been realized on InP using a flexible photonic integrating circuit technology. It has been used up to 56Gb/s in DPSK coherent transmission experiments.
