All-Optical TDM Data Demultiplexing at 80 Gb/s With Significant Timing Jitter Tolerance Using a Fiber Bragg Grating Based Rectangular Pulse Switching Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 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.

Optimization of Bistability in Nonlinear Chalcogenide Fiber Bragg Grating for All Optical Switch and Memory Applications
We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied.

The authors demonstrate the use of time-division multiplexing (TDM) to realize a high capacity optical star network. The fundamental element of the demonstration network is a 10 ps, wavelength tunable, low jitter, pulse source. Electrical data is encoded onto three optical pulse trains, and the resultant low duty cycle optical data channels are multiplexed together using 25 ps fiber delay lines...

We characterize a 160Gbit/s retimer based on flat-topped pulses shaped using a superstructured fibre Bragg grating. The benefits of using shaped rather than conventional pulse forms in terms of timing jitter reduction are confirmed by bit-error-rate measurements. Introduction As the data rates increase, and the associated pulse durations get ever shorter, managing noise-related transmission imp...
متن کاملBandpass switching in a nonlinear-optical loop mirror.
The potential importance of the nonlinear-optical loop mirror (NOLM) in all-optical switching applications is widely recognized.1 Ultrafast switching in the NOLM relies on breaking the loop symmetry to achieve a differential phase shift of p rad between counterpropagating pulses in the device. Self-switching is achieved by use of an asymmetric coupler2 or by the inclusion of an asymmetrically l...
متن کاملA Historical Narrative of Study of Fiber Grating Solitons
A brief historical narrative of the study of grating solitons in fiber Bragg grating is presented from the late 1970’s up to now. The formation of photogeneration gratings in optical fiber by sustained exposure of the core to the interference pattern produced by oppositely propagating modes of argon-ion laser radiation was first reported in 1978. One important nonlinear application of fiber Bra...
