Time domain switching/demultiplexing using four wave mixing in GaInP photonic crystal waveguides
We describe dynamical four wave mixing (FWM) functionalities of an GaInP photonic crystal waveguide. A W1 waveguide was used to wavelength convert 100 ps pulses and for sampling a 10.56 Gbit/s data stream so as to time demultiplex it into 16 or 32 channels. In all cases, the extracted pulses at the idler wavelength are undistorted and have a high signal to noise ratio proving the high efficiency and the versatility of the FWM process in the GaInP PhC waveguides we used.
