Abstract :
Two 40 Gbit/s WDM signals to one 80 Gbit/s signal multiplexing based on cross-phase modulation in a 0.8 metre bismuth oxide highly nonlinear fibre, is experimentally demonstrated. Error-free operation was achieved after demultiplexing the 80 Gbit/s signal to 10 Gbit/s and less than 2.5 dB penalty was observed.
