Summary :

This paper is concerned with an experimental approach to determining the feasibility of an optical PCM system at high bit rates. One necessary development is a high speed modulation technique using a semiconductor injection laser. The other is a high sensitivity receiving technique. First, this paper shows that high speed modulation with less pattern effect and less extinction ratio degradation can be effectively performed by adding the undershoot and overshoot to the driving current pulse in an injection laser. Second, this paper shows that a current feedback amplifier, consisting of an emitter-grounded bipolar transistor, is advantageous in high sensitivity of a high speed optical PCM receiving circuit, and to increase in repeater spacing. Finally, it is shown experimentally that the repeater spacing can be lengthened up to 5 km with a conventional graded index multimode fiber or up to 5.9 km with a single-mode fiber. It is confirmed by experiments that an optical transmission could be applied to a long distance and large capacity transmission system.
