Abstract :
In this paper, a technique is used to temporally compress entire data packets instead of isolated pulses using a temporal imaging system. Experimentally, 24-bit non-return to zero (NRZ) packets at 10 Gb/s is encoded and then temporally compress the packets to a data rate of 270 Gb/s using two optical time-lenses based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in silicon- on-insulator nanowaveguides. This packet compression technique allows for compression of packets using a range of modulation formats and for compression of analog waveforms.
