Abstract

We introduce the concept of applying ultrafast optical TDM techniques to enable the generation and detection of high-bandwidth analog waveform packets. Initial experiments with the analog optical TDM (AOTDM) system shows that these techniques can provide a great deal of control on the waveform profile. In addition, by appending the analog waveform to a high-speed digital header, more complex system functions, such as self-routing of analog waveforms throughout an interconnection network, are made possible.
