Abstract:
There is provided an apparatus for generating a multi-channel array light source based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). More specifically, the apparatus has a structure in which an optical multiplexer and distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) array modules are coupled. The optical multiplexer is configured with a plurality of input port columns spatially spaced apart from each other, so that high-speed electrical signal lines, matching resistors, and DFB-LDs are integrated with each input port column. Accordingly, although a conventional apparatus is used as it is, the number of channels can be increased by two or three times without any large modification of the size of an optical device, and thus it is possible to achieve low-price, large-capacity communication. Based on this, it is possible to implement a low-priced 400-Gbps optical transceiver.

A method of operating a wavelength swept source apparatus includes generating a single mode light, and generating a basic optical comb including light rays having identical frequency differences with adjacent light rays by modulating the generated single mode light. The method further includes generating other optical combs that include the same number of light rays as that of light rays of the optical comb that has a frequency band different from that of the basic optical comb, and is distributed in a frequency band wider than that in which the basic optical comb is distributed, by modulating the light rays of the basic optical comb. The light rays of the basic optical comb and the light rays included in the other optical combs are sequentially emitted according to frequencies of the light rays of the basic optical comb and the light rays included in the other optical combs.
