Rk. Tan et al., SELF-TIMED INTEGRATED-OPTICAL SERIAL-TO-PARALLEL CONVERTER FOR 100 GBIT S TIME DEMULTIPLEXING/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 6(10), 1994, pp. 1228-1231
We describe a novel all-optical serial-to-parallel (S/P) converter usi
ng surface-emitted second harmonic generation (SHG). This passive self
-timing integrated-optical device is designed to demultiplex optical s
ignals at rates exceeding 100 Gb/s. The results of a proof-of-concept
demonstration are presented.
