Separation of synchronization pulses from data pulses in a combination time and wave-length division multiplexing system. Delayed and phase-shifted copies of the serial multiplexed signal are recombined through an interferometer, producing synchronization pulses which constructively intensify, while the data pulses destructively attenuate to fall below a threshold value. By this method, a phase angle of the synchronization pulses may be chosen to be different than that of the data pulses. Synchronization pulses may have a different polarization than the data pulses, enabling separation of the synchronization pulses through the use of polarized filters. The signal comprising the separated synchronization pulses may subsequently be used within a demultiplexer to facilitate extraction of the data pulses from the serial multiplexed signal into a parallel output.
