A cost-effective, compact and stable short time window with low insert loss, low phase noise, low timing-jitter and high speed performance is essential for ultra-high speed OTDM systems using phase and amplitude modulation formats. In this paper, we review three promising methods to obtain 40 GHz short time window including Electro-Absorption Modulator （EAM）, Dual-Parallel Mach-Zehnder Modulator （DPMZM） and Fiber Loop-Polarization Modulator （FL-PolM）. Sub-picosecond short pulse source generation, optical time division denlaltiplexing and clock recovery are realized respectively by using the short time window based on the three methods. By using DPMZM based pulse source and EAM based Clock Recovery （CR） and dermltiplexer, error free transmission of 640 Goit/s （160 Gbaud/s Pol-Mux DQPSK） single channel signal over 400 km single mode fiber is proven to be experimentally successful.展开更多
