Abstract

Demultiplexing Nonlinear optics Optical networks Optical switches Time-division multiplexing Wavelength switching Wavelength-division multiplexing
Simultaneous all-optical high-speed wavelength switching and time demultiplexing is experimentally demonstrated using a nonlinear optical loop mirror, an integrated passive wavelength router, and fast optical space switches. With >1.2-GHz wavelength switching speeds and 2.5 Gb/s time demultiplexing speeds, both packet switching and isolated-bit extraction are demonstrated. The time switching can potentially be applied to data rates >100 Gb/s.
