Abstract :
In this work we propose a high-speed hybrid optical-time-division-multiplexing (OTDM) and wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) system that seamlessly generates high bit-rate data (>;200Gbit/s) from a low speed (5Gbit/s) quantum-dot mode locked laser pulse train. The high-speed output data can be generated using electro-optical micro-ring modulators that operate as low as (5Gbit/s). By utilizing time and wavelength domains, the proposed design is a promising solution for high-speed, compact and low-power consumption optical networks on chip.
