K. Uchiyama et al., MULTIPLE-CHANNEL OUTPUT ALL-OPTICAL OTDM DEMULTIPLEXER USING XPM-INDUCED CHIRP COMPENSATION (MOXIC), Electronics Letters, 34(6), 1998, pp. 575-576
The authors present a novel all-optical time-division demultiplexer ca
pable of simultaneously outputting multiple channels at speeds of > 10
0 Gbit/s. Its operation is based on time-wise local chirp compensation
of a down-chirped clock pulse through cross-phase modulation (XPM) in
duced by a signal pulse stream. Error-free, simultaneous six-channel-o
utput, 100 to 6.3Gbit/s demultiplexing is successfully demonstrated.
