Abstract
160 Gb/s all-optical signal processing is demonstrated exploiting pump
depletion in addition to sum and difference frequency generation (SFG/DFG)
in a single periodically poled lithium-niobate (PPLN) waveguide. 160 Gb/s
time-domain extraction and insertion operations of channels are obtained in
an optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) system. Moreover, 160Gb/s digital operations including half-adder, half-subtracter
and and/or/xor functions are carried out. The use of
pump depletion effect allows to process ultrafast signals due to its high
efficiency and ultrafast dynamics. 160Gb/s bit
error rate (BER) measurements confirm the effectiveness of all presented functionalities.
