17.1 Background
The idea of using optical means to temporally multiplex data channels to generate higher baud rates than are otherwise available is a mature idea. In 1968, Bell Labs researchers Kinsel and Denton [1] described a free-space system, where the output from a He-Ne laser was modulated and multiplexed to reach a capacity of 448 Mbit/s. In 1971–1972, detailed studies of demultiplexers were presented [2,3] aiming at total capacities of 6.7 Gbit/s. In 1987, Tucker et al. experimentally ...
