Design of all-optical time-division multiplexing scheme with the help of microring resonator

摘要

Optical time-division multiplexing is a natural multiplexing technique leading to terabit/s transmission capacity for many services that will be found in near future optical telecommunication networks. In this paper we have conducted a theoretical study of all-optical time-division multiplexing switching using GaAs-AlGaAs based microring resonator together with performances characteristics. The proposed circuit is more compact, simple and will be helpful in designing all-optical telecommunication circuits in near future. Numerical simulation results confirming described methods are given in this paper.
