摘要: Transformation of high bit-rate optical time-domain multiplexed (OTDM) signals into a multitude lower wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels is demonstrated by means single monolithically integrated indium phosphide Mach-Zehnder interferometer with semiconductor amplifiers in its arms. Full demultiplexing 10-Gb/s OTDM 4/spl times/10-Gb/s WDM demonstrated. Bit-error-rate penalties are below 1.5 dB for polarization independent signal conversion throughout the 1.55-/spl mu/m wavelength range.
