Abstract
Optical time multiplexing has been demonstrated using ultrashort optical pulses (30 ps) generated by direct modulation of TJS GaAlAs lasers. With the detection method used, an intensity correlator using second-harmonic generation in LiIO3, a bit rate of 20 Gbit/s was observed. However, the ultrashort optical pulses generated by the TJS lasers indicate that optical time multiplexing at 30 Gbit/s can be achieved.
