摘要
An all-optical time-division demultiplexer system is proposed that employs semiconductor switching. The technique can be applied through the use of input infrared signals of wavelengths greater-than-or-equal-to 1 mum. The device is simple to construct and has a potential capacity of 1 Tbit/s, with cross talk between channels of only approximately -13 to -17 dB at operating wavelengths between 1 and 15 mum, respectively. The optimum characteristics and the operational parameters are also presented.
