Abstract :
Techniques are described for optically multiplexing and demultiplexing individual pulse code modulation channels in order to develop the terminal capability for a high-capacity optical communication system. It is shown that, using these techniques, an information capacity in excess of 1010bit/s can be achieved on the output beam of a single laser.
