Abstract :
Aspects of analog signal processing are explored using baseband codes from 1 to 10 Gb/s modulated onto a 378 THz optical carrier and processed by spectral holographic techniques in Tm:YAG. Results include processing of signals buried in additive noise, variation of time delays over 5 μs, and material signal losses as low as ∼1 dB/μs.
