- 22 - A PHOTONIC SWITCH ARCHITECTURE UTILIZING CODE AND WAVELENGTH MULTIPLEXING Abstract An optical multiplexer and demultiplexer using combined code division and wavelength division multiplexing. The multiplexer comprises a plurality of code division multiplexers, each responsive to a plurality of input signals and a plurality of orthogonal code sequences, and a wave division multiplexer for generating an output signal representing the signals of each code division multiplexer carried on a different wavelength. Each code division multiplexer comprises a plurality of lithium niobate phase shifters, each comprising an indiffused titanium wave guide and a pair of electrodes for the accepting one of the orthogonal code sequences, to modulate the lightwave being passed through the wave guide. The demultiplexer for extracting a selected input signal, comprises a wavelengthselector for selecting the wavelength carrying the selected input signal, a phase shifter for modulating the selected wavelength signal by the code sequence of the selected individual input signal, and a PIN photodiode for combining the multiplexed signal with the output of the phase shifter to extract the selected input signal. Advantageously, many signals can be multiplexed onto one path and selected separately through the combination of the code division and wavelength division multiplexing and demultiplexing.
