Signal Demultiplexing from an 8.2 x 2.5 Gb/s OTDM Data Stream Using NOLM: Demonstration and Bit Error Rate Measurement

摘要

It is presented the experiment of all-optical demultiplexing of one 2.5 Gb/s channel from an 8 x 2.5 Gb/s OTDM data stream using nonlinear optical loop mirror with 3 km dispersion shifted fiber. Bit error rate (BER) of the demultiplexed channel is measured. A BER of 10~11 is achieved and the power panalty is only 1.4 dB when BER is 10~9.
