Abstract

We present experimental results on de-multiplexing 107 Gb/s OTDM signal using pulsed pump fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA). Basic train of 13.375 GHz RZ pulses which serves for generation of the 107 Gb/s signal and 13.375 GHz pump were derived from one mode locked laser diode with saturable absorber. Pump pulses for FOPA were generated in a wavelength converter based on XPM in HNLF and phase to amplitude conversion in fiber Bragg grating.
