Abstract :
The authors describe the excellent capability of an all-optical gain-transparent ultrafast nonlinear interferometer (GT-UNI) in dropping, passing through, and adding optical time domain multiplexing (OTDM) channels. Error free operation without significant penalties of a complete OTDM add-drop node at 80 Gbit/s was achieved.
