TY - JOUR AU - Monroy, Idelfonso Tafur AB - We report on experimental demonstration of digital coherent detection based on a directly modulated vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting laser with bit rate up to 10 Gbps. This system allows a cooler‐less, free running, and unamplified transmission without optical dispersion compensation up to 105 km at 5 Gbps long reach passive optical links. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
