A Terabit Single-hop TDMA Network with the Spectrum-Domain Modulation

摘要

In this paper, we propose a single-hop TDMA optical network with throughput of several Tb/s. This high throughput is achieved by combining spectrum encoding and fat demultiplexing. Fast packet switching is accomplished by using a rapidly tunable delay line (RTDL). The frequency domain DPSK (FD-DPSK) modulation is adopted, which provides 3dB improvement over FD-OOK. Finally, we discuss a scalable protocol that can be employed in a newtwork with a large number of channels and users.
