Abstract

This talk focuses on the sources of pulse width distortion (PWD) within our asynchronous optoelectronic switching system. A block diagram depicting the data path of this system is shown, with the signal originating at the input wavelength conversion boards and terminating at the output wavelength conversion boards. Wavelength conversion is necessary, since the ATM-UNI specifies 1300nm, and our optoelectronic chip operates at 850nm.
