Timing Jitter from Optical Phase Noise in Quantum Dot Coherent Comb Laser at C-Band

Timing jitter obtained from optical phase noise is investigated in InAs/InP quantum dot Fabry-Perot coherent comb lasers with 11, 25, and 34.5 GHz pulse repetition rates. These lasers exhibit ultra-low timing jitter making them excellent sources for tens terabit optical networks.
