Abstract :
To ensure that ultra-high-speed serial data signals can be utilised in future optical communication networks, it is indispensable to have all-optical signal processing elements at our disposal. In this paper, the most recent advances in our use of non-linear materials incorporated in different function blocks for high-speed signal processing are reviewed.
