Abstract :
Simultaneous all-optical signal addition and wavelength conversion in 160 Gb/s OTDM-based WDM data using supercontinuum generation is proposed and first demonstrated using a highly nonlinear fiber. 10 Gb/s data dropped from a 160 Gb/s OTDM signal is successfully added to 15×10 Gb/s OTDM signals.
