Abstract

Recent progress in optical time-division-multiplexed (OTDM) signal generation technologies is reviewed. Optical pulse timing control, multiplexing using integrated lightwave circuits, and all-optical regularization are presented, and the possibility of over 100 Gbit/s OTDM signal generation is discussed.
