Abstract :
The ultrafast demultiplexing operation of a monolithic optical gate that integrates a photodiode and an electroabsorption modulator has been investigated and successfully demonstrated at a data rate corresponding to 320 Gbit/s. The on/off ratio is 11 dB or better for adjacent channels and is higher than 16 dB for the others.
