Abstract
Operating characteristics of terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD), under gain and transparent region assist light injection, are investigated in theory. We have analyzed the demultiplexing performance for three OTDM systems: 10, 40, 100 Gb/s. Though the switching window is distorted, the resilience to timing jitter is improved under transparent light injection. In practical application, counter-propagating configuration should be taken. Gain region assist light should not be used in TOAD. Some key parameters are given through numerical analysis and simulations.
