Abstract
In this letter, two kinds of continuous wavelength-tunable light sources are achieved and
investigated experimentally using a self-seeding reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA).
Over 40 single mode wavelengths with 100 GHz spacing are generated by setting the parameters of the
wavelength selective switch. The peak power of each wavelength reaches over 0.2 dBm with the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) > 35 dB. The proposed schemes are appropriate for
multi-wavelength-tunable light sources; the maximum number of wavelengths generated can reach to 4.
