S. Kawanishi, ULTRAHIGH-SPEED OPTICAL TIME-DIVISION-MULTIPLEXED TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY-BASED ON OPTICAL SIGNAL-PROCESSING, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 34(11), 1998, pp. 2064-2079
Recent progress in optical time-division-multiplexed (TDM) transmissio
n technologies is reviewed including optical short pulse generation, t
ime-division multiplexing/demultiplexing, timing extraction, and wavef
orm measurement. The latest 400-Gbit/s transmission experiments based
on optical signal processing are presented and the possibility of tera
bit/second TDM transmission is discussed.
