Description

Article Abstract: In this paper, we report the first experimental demonstration of the Stretched A linearisation method. The theoretical framework of the method and related simulation studies have been presented in Part I of this work. Here, we apply the method on an 850 nm multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) specified for operation at 10 Gb/s and demonstrate good quality optical output waveforms with little non-linear distortion at 16 Gb/s using non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation. An experimental sensitivity analysis on the generation of the required modulating current components demonstrates large tolerance to parameter mismatch. In addition, it is shown that an adaptive gain scheme can improve the tolerance to the timing offset between the current components. Potential hardware implementations using either analog or digital electronics are also discussed.
