Abstract

Summary form only given. We demonstrate simple processing of digitally encoded optical signals using a low-V, modulator driven directly by a high-current photoreceiver. In addition, we discuss extension of this technique for demultiplexing of high speed time division multiplexed data and NRZ-to-RZ and RZ-to-NRZ format conversion.
