Abstract :
We have demonstrated for the first time, all-optical demultiplexing of a 40 Gb/s OTDM signal with simultaneous wavelength conversion of 19 nm at a bit error rate of 10-10, using a dual pump wave mixing scheme in a bulk semiconductor optical amplifier. The performance of the proposed all-optical demultiplexer/shifter can be further improved and the corresponding optimization procedures have also been discussed
