Abstract :
We demonstrate a tunable optical delay element using wavelength conversion in a highly nonlinear fiber, dispersion compensating fiber, and optical phase conjugation. A continuous delay of up to 1.16-μs equaling >55,000 symbols at 50 Gb/s, for 100 Gb/s NRZ-DQPSK and 50 Gb/s NRZ-DPSK modulation formats, is demonstrated.
