Uncooled orthogonal DWDM using discrete laser sources for low-cost datacommunication applications

We show experimentally and through simulations how discrete laser sources can be used in uncooled DWDM systems by exploiting orthogonal coding. This low-cost solution reduces power consumption over traditional DWDM systems by 49%.
