Abstract :
This study investigates the performance of the optical header processor based on the optical digital-to-analog converter. The bit error rate dependence (BER) dependence on the relative polarization angle between splitted signals is demonstrated. The possibility of multi-level recognition of analog pulse amplitudes of header patterns is also shown.
