摘要
A 16×10-Gb/s optical time-division-multiplexing （OTDM） system was demonstrated experimentally with a well-designed ultrashort pulse source based on an electro-absorption modulator （EAM） and nonlinear fiber compressor. The obtained 10-GHz stable and pedestal-free pulse train has 2-ps width, high extinction ratio, and low timing jitter. An ultrafast demultiplexer based on a nonlinear optical loop mirror （NOLM） including a commercially available highly nonlinear fiber （HNLF） is employed to demultiplex data signal from 160 to 10 Gb/s. A back-to-back error-free demultiplexing experiment is carried out to verify the system performance.
