Abstract
The ACTS project HIGHWAY (AC067) addresses promising ultra-high speed optoe lectronic components and system technologies for 40 Gbit/s time-division-mu ltiplexed (TDM) transport systems. Advanced 40 Gbit/s TDM system lab demons trators are to be realized and tested over installed field fiber testbeds. This paper reviews the current status of 40 Gbit/s TDM components and subsy stem technologies achieved in HIGHWAY. The results of HIGHWAY 40 Gbit/s TDM systems and field tests will be reported in a subsequent paper. (C) 1999 A cademic Press.
