Abstract

Transformation of high bit-rate optical time-domain multiplexed (OTDM) signals into a multitude of lower bit-rate wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels is demonstrated by means of a single monolithically integrated indium phosphide Mach-Zehnder interferometer with semiconductor optical amplifiers in its arms. Full demultiplexing of 10-Gb/s OTDM signals into 4×10-Gb/s WDM channels is demonstrated. Bit-error-rate penalties are below 1.5 dB for polarization independent signal conversion throughout the 1.55-μm wavelength range.
