40 Gbit/s all-optical demultiplexing using a monolithically integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer with semiconductor laser amplifiers

摘要

The authors demonstrate all-optical error-free demultiplexing of 10, 20 and 40 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s data signals by using a monolithically integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two semiconductor laser amplifiers.
