Abstract

We report the first demonstration of error free all-optical signal processing at telecommunication data rates in chalcogenide glass waveguides. We achieve error-free wavelength conversion via cross-phase modulation in a low-loss, 5 cm long As₂S₃ chalcogenide planar waveguide, over a 25 nm wavelength range at lOGb/s, yielding a Q-factor penalty of 2.3 dB.
