Description • In OTDM light wave systems, several optical signals at a bit rate B share the same carrier
of the frequency and are multiplexed optically to form a composite bit stream at the bit rate NB,
experiment where N is the number of channels.
• Several multiplexing techniques can be used for this purpose. The figure below shows
the design of an OTDM transmitter based on the delay-line technique.

• Demultiplexing of individual channels from an OTDM signal requires electro-optic or all-

topical techniques. Several schemes have been developed, each having its own merits
and drawbacks.
• The figure below shows three schemes discussed in this section. All demultiplexing
techniques require a clock signal - a periodic pulse train at the single-channel bit rate.
• The clock signal is in the electric form for electro-optic demultiplexing but consists of an
optical pulse train for all-optical demultiplexing.

Inferences From the above figures it is evident that, using OTDM signal can be transmitted multiple
times over channel after specific time delay and retrieved over channel efficiently.

Conclusion In OTDM systems, several optical signals share same carrier frequency and multiplexed
optically to form a composite bit stream and signal can be retrieved after demultiplexing.
