Abstract :
An RF photonic scheme capable of performing channel tuning among time slots in ultra-fast OTDM networks at nanosecond reconfiguration speed is described. In the demonstration, demultiplexing across ten OTDM channels from a 100 Gbit/s signal stream was achieved at a reconfiguration time of 4 ns with simple ECL logic control
