(DURIP 95) Instrumentation for Phase Modulation, Stability and Control in Terabit per Second Optical Network.

Abstract

We requested instrumentation (principally lasers and amplified components operating at 1.5 micrometer) to enhance a research program to develop and demonstrate a Tb/s optical network architecture. This ultra high speed architecture, which includes ultra-high parallelism and complete control over optical phase, is based on several novel optical and optoelectronic technologies such as acousto-optic spectral encoding of femtosecond optical pulses using shaped radiofrequency pulses and all-optical time-division multiplexing and demultiplexing of picosecond optical pulses. These key technologies enable an optical network architecture based on a combination of wavelength-time-and code-division multiplexing with rapid channel access and several Tb/s aggregate throughput.
