Abstract :
We demonstrate a 160 Gbit/s RZ/CS-RZ OTDM multiplexer, where optical phase between adjacent channels was stabilized. The use of optical bandpass filter to pick up carrier or sideband component of the multiplexer output eliminates the needs for a tunable CW laser. The optical spectrum of the output was stabilized with temperature change between 26°C and 32°C.
