Abstract

We present a successful demonstration of ultra-fast all-optical time-division demultiplexing with simultaneous multiple-channel output, a vital function for all-optical demultiplexers. The demultiplexing operation is based on multichannel four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier. Error-free, simultaneous live-channel-output, 100-6.3-Gb/s demultiplexing is successfully performed.
