40-to-10-Gb/s demultiplexing using an electro-absorption sampling window

Abstract

The demultiplexing experiment from a 40 Gb/s optical time-division multiplexing signal is completed by using electro-absorption sampling window based on electronic phase-locked loop circuit for clock recovery. Error-free demultiplexing is achieved when the launched optical power into electro-absorption sampling window reaches 5.5 dBm without optical filter following the EDFA.
