Abstract :
We demonstrate high temporal-resolution time-to-space conversion of 50ps extent ultrafast waveforms using SFG in PPLN. This technique enables serial-to-parallel demultiplexing of a Tbaud OTDM channel to multiple spatially parallel Gbaud tributaries, compatible with optoelectronic detection.
