A multi-wavelength source incorporating a Semiconductor Optical Amplifer (SOA) and a Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in a ring cavity configuration is demonstrated. The multi wavelength source is able to generate more than 12 channels at -35 dBm and above with a channel spacing of 0.8 nm at a SO...
