160-Gb/s OTDM transmission using integrated all-optical MUX/DEMUX with all-channel modulation and demultiplexing

This letter provides the first report of 160-Gb/s optical time-division-multiplexed transmission with all-channel independent modulation and all-channel simultaneous demultiplexing. By using a multiplexer and a demultiplexer based on periodically poled lithium niobate and semiconductor optical amplifier hybrid integrated planar lightwave circuits, 160-km transmission is successfully demonstrated.
