Abstract :
The extremely large, ultra-fast Kerr nonlinearity and low nonlinear loss combined with the ability to tailor chromatic dispersion of chalcogenide glasses offers an attractive avenue for achieving chip based all-optical signal processing devices. We use real system signals, at data rates up to 160 Gb/s, to demonstrate wavelength conversion and optical time demultiplexing in 5 cm long waveguides.
