We use an optical 160 to 10 Gbit/s demultiplexer based on a hybrid Mach-Zehnder interferometer.encompensationdemultiplexingmach-zehnder interferometersoptical fibre communicationoptical fibre dispersiontelecommunication channelsunrepeatered Gbit/s rz single-channel transmissionstandard fibrehybrid mzi optical demultiplexersingle-channelsingle-polarisationpassive compensationGbit/s demultiplexerhybrid mach-zehnder interferometer160 Gbit/s160 km1.55 mum10 Gbit/s621384journal article
