Abstract
A 100-GHz optical pulse train is generated using an InP-based optical multiplexer, This device is based on a waveguide array with five paths of different lengths separated by a 10-ps propagation time, We used a multimode interference (MMI) splitter at the input and a taper-type c ombiner at the output, This device is well-suited for optical time-div ision multiplexing (OTDM) applications.
