| Abstract: | Ultrafast all-optical optical time-division multiplexing demultiplexing based on the cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference-frequency generation wavelength conversion in quasi-phase-matched periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides are studied theoretically. For a typical 160- to 10-Gb/s demultiplexing process, conversion efficiency, pulse shape, time delay, phase variation, and crosstalk are investigated in two different arrangements of the 160-Gb/s signals, and both the wavelength conversion and pulse reshaping can be realized |
