160-Gbit/s Full Channel Optical Time-Division Demultiplexer Based on SOA-Array Integrated PLC and Its Application to OTDM Transmission Experiment

摘要

This paper presents 160-Gbit/s full channel time-division demultiplexing using a semiconductor optical amplifier hybrid integrated demultiplexer on a planer lightwave circuit. Error-free demultiplexing from a 160-Gbit/s signal to 8 channel x 20Gbit/s signals is successfully demonstrated. Results ofa 160-Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed full channel OTDM signal transmission experiment using the circuit and successful 80-km transmission are presented.
