摘要: A hybrid WDM-TDM optical link employing a modelocked multi-wavelength semiconductor which provides approximately 4 to 20 wavelength channels that makes possible modulated multiplexed data when demultiplexed by ultra fast demultiplexing rates suitable for conventional electronic photo receivers. The uses single-stripe GaAs/AlGaAs amplifiers simultaneously generate from four more than twenty tunable WDM channels. Diode laser can also include InP, InGaAlP, InGaAsP, InGaP, InGaAs. channel version transmits 12 picosecond pulses at 2.5 GHz an aggregate pulse rate of 100 GHz. When generating channels, each transmitting 600 MHz, there is provided and transmission systems operating in excess 800 Gbits/s.
