160 Gbit/s demultiplexing based on a monolithically integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Abstract

We report on 160-to IO-Gbitk demulripkring using a monolirhical[r. integrared Mach-Zehnder interfrometer nith semiconductor optical amplijiers. Bit error rates oJIess than IFiG mere achieved for aN tributary channels.

Performance of a 4×10 Gbit/s optical time domain multiplexed system using SMZ switching

“…It was also outlined that SMZ has symmetric switching window and hence it is less venerable to jitter. advantage of SMZ structure over other interferometric switches like terahertz optical asymmetric de-multiplexer (TOAD) is that SMZ can be easily integrated on to a single photonic chip [11,12]. Presently, crosstalk suppression in all optical SMZ has gained importance.…”

High-speed optical signal processing using semiconductor optical amplifiers

“…9) is one of the most promising candidates. It enables to realize a compact and potentially low cost DEMUX by monolithic integration of the SOAs and the interferometer structure [41,[61][62][63][64][65]. Also a hybrid-integrated SOA-MZI, called hybrid integrated symmetric Mach-Zehnder (HI-SMZ) has been realized and demultiplexing of data signals up to 336 Gbit/s was demonstrated [66][67][68].…”

Application of electroabsorption modulators for high-speed transmission systems

“…Systems with even higher TDM bit rates from 80 Gbit/s up to 1.28 Tbit/s have been developed in research labs [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Owing to the speed bottleneck of electronic and opto-electronic components OTDM technology was usually applied with an OTDM base rate of 10 Gbit/s up to 40 Gbit/s.…”
