Abstract
Extended-cavity light sources employing modulation-averaging reflectors have been demonstrated for the first time. We show that averaging reflectors add more than 3 dB to the link margin and allow a wider range of bias conditions for the RSOA. We also demonstrate 23 km transmission with a fully passive remote node at 1.25 GBaud.
