An all-optical time division multiplexing system, comprising: first
divider having first input and a first plurality of outputs for receiving
input signals at the first input and directing the input signals to each
of the outputs of the first plurality of outputs, the input signals
arranged within periodic time slots; second divider having second input
and a second plurality of outputs for receiving clock signals at the
second input and directing the clock signals to each of the outputs of
the second plurality of outputs, and a third plurality of AND gates each
having third and fourth inputs and fifth output for receiving the input
signals at the third input from one of the outputs of the first plurality
of outputs and receiving the clock signals at the fourth input from one
of the outputs of the second plurality of outputs, and the clock signals
and the input signals coincide in the third and fourth inputs of the AND
gates of the third plurality of AND gates in a consecutive order to
produce at the fifth output images of the input signals such that only
one AND gate of the third plurality of AND gates produces at the fifth
output one image of one of the input signals at each time slots and in a
consecutive cyclic order.
