We demonstrate all-optical demultiplexing of a high-bandwidth, time-division multiplexed 160 Gbit/s signal to 10 Gbit/s channels, exploiting slow light enhanced four-wave mixing in a dispersion engineered, 96 μm long planar photonic crystal waveguide. We report error-free (bit error rate<10⁻⁹) operation of all 16 demultiplexed channels, with a power penalty of 2.2-2.4 dB, highlighting the potential of these structures as a platform for ultracompact all-optical nonlinear processes.
我们演示了一种利用慢光增强的四波混频在色散工程的 96μm 长平面光子晶体波导中对高速率、时分复用的 160Gbit/s 信号进行 10Gbit/s 信道的全光解复用。我们报告了所有 16 个解复用信道的无误码（误码率<10⁻⁹）操作，其功率代价为 2.2-2.4dB，突出了这些结构作为超紧凑全光非线性过程平台的潜力。
