Abstract :
For an experimental 40 Gbit/s optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) system, a silicon monolithic integrated circuit was developed which can be operated as a two-output 10 Gbit/s pseudo random data-generator as well as an error-detector and counter. If two circuits are synchronized together, one obtains four m-sequences which can be multiplexed optically to a new m-sequence with the same pattern, but with a data-rate of 40 Gbit/s. After transmission the optical signal is demultiplexed electrically and the total error-rate or the single error-rates of the four channels can be displayed
