For some key technological issues in high-rate Optical Time Division Multiplexing(OTDM)systems
such as clock extraction
time division demultiplexing and dispersion compensation
we present an 8×40Gbit/s OTDM system technological scheme.The results indicate that by choosing appropriate clock extraction and the symmetrical dispersion shifted fiber-based dispersion compensation technology
we can demultiplex the 40Gbit/s RZ signals in every channel in one timeslot
and with good quality at that.This system realizes 320Gbit/s OTDM communication.
