All-optical TDM data demultiplexing at 80 GB/s with significant timing jitter tolerance using a fiber Bragg grating based rectangular pulse switching technology
We demonstrate the use of fiber Bragg grating based pulse-shaping technology to provide timing jitter tolerant data demultiplexing in an 80 Gb/s all-optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) system. Error-free demultiplexing operation is achieved with /spl sim/6 ps timing jitter tolerance using superstructured fiber Bragg grating based 1.7 ps soliton to 10 ps rectangular pulse conversion at the switching pulse input to a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) demultiplexer comprising highly nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber (HNLF).
A 2-dB power-penalty improvement is obtained compared to demultiplexing without the pulse-shaping grating.
