80 Gbit/s simultaneous photonic demultiplexing based on OTDM-to-WDM conversion by four-wave mixing with supercontinuum light source

A novel method for all-optical all-channel simultaneous demultiplexing based on OTDM-to-WDM conversion by four-wave mixing with a highly chirped rectangular shaped supercontinuum source is proposed. Error-free 80 to 10 Gbit/s demultiplexing operation in eight channels is experimentally demonstrated.
