200 Gbit/s, 100 km time-division-multiplexed opticaltransmission using supercontinuum pulses with prescaledPLL timing extraction and all-optical demultiplexing

Abstract

A single channel, single polarisation 200 Gbit/s time-division-multiplexed optical transmission experiment is successfully demonstrated using optical short pulses generated by supercontinuum. A prescaled clock is recovered directly from the 200 Gbit/s signal to drive an all-optical demultiplexer.
