PCT No. PCT/GB96/00478 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 22, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 22, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/27928 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1996An optical communications source has a laser optically coupled with an external optical modulator (25). The laser has a long optical cavity and a narrow spectral bandwidth Bragg reflector (24) so that the longitudinal mode separation of the laser emission is small compared with the spectral bandwidth of the reflector. This makes the laser operate multi-mode, but without any significant dispersion penalty. |
