112 Gbit/s transmitter optical subassembly based on hybrid integrated directly modulated lasers

Based on the hybrid integration technology, an ultra-compact and low cost transmitter optical subassembly module is proposed. Four directly modulated lasers are combined with a coarse wavelength division multiplexer operated at the O-band. The bandwidth for all channels is measured to be approximately 3 GHz. The 112 Gb∕s transmission is experimentally demonstrated for a 10 km standard single mode fiber(SSMF), in which an optical isolator is used for avoiding the back-reflected and scattered light to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance. A low BER and clear eye opening are achieved for 10 km transmission.
