Abstract
A novel multitap optical transversal signal processor based on wavelen gth multiplexed Bragg grating arrays is presented, This structure enab les the realization of a large number of taps for obtaining sharp band pass filtering with high resolution and also enables arbitrary tap wei ght profiles to be obtained. Results on a 4-GHz, 29-tap filter demonst rates a sharp bandpass filter response, and windowing techniques on th e tap profiles are demonstrated to enhance the sidelobe suppression ch aracteristics.
