Abstract :
We demonstrate a scheme for reconfigurably selecting multiple tributaries of a 640-Gbit/s signal using cross-phase modulation in cascaded nonlinear optical loop mirrors (NOLMs). An average penalty of ~3.5 dB is introduced by each NOLM after arbitrarily selecting two 40-Gbit/s tributaries and subsequently redistributing them.
