Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate optical multiplexing of 40-Gbit/s channels at different wavelengths onto a single 640-Gbit/s channel and subsequent 640-to-10-Gbit/s demultiplexing using cascaded nonlinear optical loop mirrors. An average penalty of ~3.5 dB at 10-9 BER is observed after the nonlinear processes.
