Experimental demonstration of femtosecond switching of a fully packaged all-optical switch

We experimentally demonstrate femtosecond switching of a fully packaged hybrid-integrated Mach-Zehnder switch. A record switching window of 620fs at fult-width-half-maximum is achieved. © 2004 Optical Society of America.

A novel ultra-fast optical router using time-slot switching

We present a novel optical routing scheme scalable to greater than 50×50 channels with a potential aggregate bit-rate of 1Tbps. The proof-of-principle experiment demonstrates the feasibility of the router with a de-multiplexed Q-factor of 6.35. © 2004 Optical Society of America.

Study of high performance Re-timing using a 40 Gb/s hybrid-integrated mach-zehnder all-optical regenerator

We experimentally show that a hybrid-integrated Mach-Zehnder switch with a high performance gate profile allows retiming of optical signals with an accuracy of 500-700fs even if the input timing jitter is increased to 3ps. © 2004 Optical Society of America.

Enhanced performance of an all-optical parity checker using a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer

An all-optical parity checker is proposed that requires only a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Simulation results demonstrate an 8dB improvement in extinction ratio at 10 Gb/s operation. © 1999 Optical Society of America.
