Abstract
High-capacity transmission systems with aggregate capacities of more than 1 Tbit/s [1], [2] are realized by using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Even in WDM systems, higher bit-rates, e.g. 40 Gbit/s [3], [4], 80 Gbit/s [5] and more, generated by electrical time division multiplexing (ETDM) technology, are favorable because they reduce terminal cost and offer high spectral efficiency.
