In addition, implications of fast intraband effects for all-optical demultiplexing and add-drop multiplexing using the MZI devices are discussed.endemultiplexingintegrated optoelectronicsmach-zehnder interferometersoptical pumpingoptical transmitterssemiconductor laserstime division multiplexingultrafast gainphase dynamicsmonolithically integrated sla based mach-zehnder interferometersotdm applicationssemiconductor laser amplifiermonolithically integrated asymmetric mach zehnder interferometerspump-probe experimentsdesign relevant parametersfast intraband effectsall-optical demultiplexingadd-drop multiplexingmzi devices621conference paper
