Abstract :
We propose a wavelength-division-multiplexing pump technique to perform serial-to-parallel conversion using a parametric processor. We demonstrate the concept by demultiplexing a 40-Gb/s signal into four 10-Gb/s signals using four sampling wavelengths and compare performance to electronic demultiplexing.
