Interchannel distortion suppression for broadband wireless over fibre transmission using feed-forward linearised DFB laser

We describe the first transmission of triple 11 Msymb/s QPSK channels over 2.2 km SMF using a feed-forward linearised uncooled DFB laser achieving 11 dB interchannel distortion suppression and 10.5 dB power advantage compared to the non-linearised case.
