Abstract
Field experiments of 42.7/128.1 Gb/s wavelength-division multiplexed,
optical time-division multiplexed (WDM-OTDM) transmultiplexing and
all-optical dual-wavelength regeneration at the OTDM rate are presented in
this paper. By using the asynchronous retiming scheme, we achieve error-free
bufferless data grooming with time-slot interchange capability for OTDM
meshed networking. We demonstrate excellent performance from the system,
discuss scalability, applicability, and the potential reach of the
asynchronous retiming scheme for transparent OTDM-domain
interconnection.
