Abstract(in English) Optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) enables ultrahigh-speed transmission at a single wavelength with a bit rate beyond the limit of electrical signal processing. One of the key technologies for OTDM is an optical demultiplexer, which selects a low bit-rate signal from a high-speed OTDM data sequence at a receiver. In this paper, we compare two types of demultiplexers, one with a symmetric Mach-Zehnder (SMZ) switch and the other with an electro-absorption modulator (EAM), when used for 160Gbit/s (4×40Gbit/s) OTDM transmission over 500km. By combining the SMZ switch with a time-domain optical Fourier transmformation technique, we succeeded in obtaining slightly better bit-error rate (BER) performance than with the EAM.
