Optimal conditions of 40 Gbps RZ format for implementation of optical time division multiplexing/wavelength division multiplexing (OTDM/WDM) transmission system are induced by analyzing and comparing performance depending on duty cycle and extinction ratio (ER). Optical phase conjugator (OPC) and inline dispersion management (DM) are applied into optical transmission links for compensating signal distortion due to chromatic dispersion and nonlinearity of fiber. It is confirmed that RZ format of 0.25 duty cycle is less effected by system performance change depending on ER and it is suitable for multiplexing to 160 Gbps signal through OTDM. Also, it is shown that performance improvement of RZ format determined by same net residual dispersion (NRD) is more increased as residual dispersion per span (RDPS) becomes large.

Wavelength and repetition-rate tunable optical pulse-trains for ultrafast optical time- and wavelength division multiplexing are generated from a semiconductor fiber ring laser by optical injection mode-locking. The pulse trains show the pulse with of ${\sim}10$ ps and the wavelength tuning of wider than 30 nm at various repetition-rates of 10 GHz, 20 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively.

근래에 들어와 초단 광펄스 생성 기술이 발전되어 다양한 초고속 현상 및 물성 분석 연구에 활용되고 있으며 통신 및 신호처리에 대한 응용 기술에 대해서도 연구되고 있다. 특히 대용량 광통신 기술로는 이미 기술적인 성숙도를 보인 파장분할다중 (WDM) 기술과 더불어 전기적 신호를 다중화하여 광신호로 변환하여 통신하는 전기적 시간분할다중 (ETDM) 기술이 있으며, 초단 광펄스를 이용하는 40 Gbps 급 이상의 고속 광시간분할다중 (OTDM) 광통신 기술도 연구되고 있다. 이 OTDM기술에 있어서는 초단 광펄스 생성 기술과 고속 광신호 다중화 및 역다중화 기술. 광동기신호 재생 기술 등이 주요 핵심 기술을 이루고 있다. 본 글에서는 근래에 들어와 활발히 연구되고 있는 광통신용 펨토초급 초단 광펄스 생성 기술과 이를 이용한 40 Gbps급 이상의 고속 광시간분할다중 (OTDM) 광전송 및 광신호처리에 관련된 기술 현황을 살펴보고자 한다.

All-optical non-return-to-zero (NRZ) -to- return-to-zero (RZ) data-format conversion has been successfully demonstrated using a semiconductor optical amplifier in a fiber-loop mirror (so-called SOA-loop mirror) with a continuous-wave (CW) holding beam. The converted RZ signal after pulse compression has been used to create a 40 Gb/s OTDM (Optical Time Division Multiplexing) signal. Here is proposed an NRZ-to-RZ conversion method without any additional optical clocks, unlike conventional methods based on optical AND logic. In addition, it has the merit of operating at various bit-rate speeds without any controlling device. Moreover, it has a simple structure, and it can be used for all-optical bit-rate-flexible clock recovery.
