Abstract
Transformation of high bit-rate optical time-domain multiplexed (OTDM) sign als into a multitude of lower bit-rate wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM ) channels is demonstrated by means of a single monolithically integrated i ndium phosphide Mach-Zehnder interferometer with semiconductor optical ampl ifiers in its arms. Full demultiplexing of 40-Gb/s OTDM signals into 4 x 10 -Gb/s WDM channels is demonstrated. Bit-error-rate penalties are below 1.5 dB for polarization independent signal conversion throughout the 1.55-mu m wavelength range.
