Abstract :
The authors propose a novel method for converting optical time division multiplexed (OTDM) signals to wavelength division multiplexed signals (WDM) by using supercontinuum (SC), followed by spectrum slicing and time-gating. OC-192 (9.953 Gbit/s) OTDM signals to 4×OC-48 (2.488 Gbit/s) WDM signals conversion with a BER of under 10-9 is experimentally demonstrated
