Abstract
Methods and apparatus for implementing synchronous Optical Time Division Multiplexing are presented. Namely, a method of upconverting and combining N input NRZ optical data signals, each having an approximately equal pulse width and period, into one time-division multiplexed output signal, as well as a method for the inverse, i.e., down converting the N demultiplexed component signals are presented. Apparatus to implement these functionalities is also presented.
