Abstract :
The combination of linear pulse shaping, achieved using superstructured fibre Bragg gratings, and fibre-based nonlinear switching facilitates advanced all-optical processing of signals. Some applications include suppression of timing jitter, and demultiplexing based on frequency-shifting of OTDM signals.
