Abstract

A demultiplexer with phase-locked-loop based clock recovery from a 160 Gbit/s OTDM (optical time division multiplexed) signal to a 10 Gbit/s signal is demonstrated using two SOA (semiconductor optical amplifier) based interferometric optical switches. Error free 120 km fiber transmission was successful using this demultiplexer.
