Monolithically integrated asymmetric Mach-Zehnderinterferometeras a 20 Gbit/s all-optical add/drop multiplexer for OTDM systems

Abstract

The authors report the operation of a recently developed, monolithically integrated asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two semiconductor laser amplifiers as a 20 Gbit/s add/drop multiplexer for optical time division multiplexed systems.
