Abstract

In this paper, ultra-fast all-optical time division (OTDM) demultiplexing and simultaneous pulse reshaping can be realized by using cascaded wavelength conversion in quasi-phase-matched (QPM) periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides. The results obtained in this work provide some guidelines for the QPM device design and application
