Fibre-optic metadevice for all-optical coherent signal processing at 40 Gbit/s

We demonstrate a fully functional metadevice performing coherent all-optical logical operations including NOT, AND and XOR at up to 40 Gbit/s at wavelengths between 1530 nm and 1565 nm and demonstrate that the underlying mechanism has a bandwidth of 100 THz.
