Abstract
The principal factor in realising a high-performance bandwidth-efficie nt fibre communication system at an acceptable cost is the choice of m odulation format on the optical carrier. In this context, pulse time m odulation (PTM) techniques represent an attractive alternative to pure ly digital or analogue methods. The PTM family is reviewed, a classifi cation system is proposed and their potential for use in high-speed fi bre systems intended for the transmission of analogue data is examined .
