    3. General Motivation Bandwidth demand

    4. Short Pulse Optical Sources Services, Network evolution

    5. Signal Processing Electrical Optical

    6. Electrical Signal Processing Diagram of general approach

    7. Nortel ASIC Example of chip from Nortel

    8. Optical Signal Processing What can it offer? Multi-channel operation Multi-functionality

    9. Tunable Optical Delays

    10. Motivation

    11. Multi-Channel Delay using a Single Delay Element Objectives: Transparency to modulation format and bit rate No delay dependency or power penalty to the presence of other channel (no cross-talk) Approach: Dual-channel operation based on the conversion-dispersion method

    12. Conversion-Dispersion Conversion: based on FWM in a length of HNLF Transparent to modulation format and data rate of input signal (e.g., NRZ, RZ, DPSK) Dispersion: based on a linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating Compact Can always use a length of dispersive fiber (e.g., DCF)

    13. Experimental Setup

    14. Experimental Results NRZ delayed signal at 10 Gb/s Up to 400 ps delay achieved by tuning the pump for 3 nm

    15. Experimental Results 10 Gb/s 231-1 PRBS

    16. Experimental Results 10 Gb/s 231-1 PRBS

    17. Experimental Results 10 Gb/s 231-1 PRBS

    18. Multi-Functional Tunable Optical Delay Objective: Develop approach for tunable optical delay and signal regeneration Reduce amplitude noise for DPSK signals Approach: Exploit regenerative properties of four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers

    19. Experimental Setup

    20. Experimental Results

    21. All-Optical Clock Recovery

    22. Clock Recovery Often overlooked function in any optical transciever or optical regenerator Necessary to provide a synchronization signal for sampling, switching, and 3R regeneration

    23. Approaches Electronic: fast photodetection followed by electronic clock recovery circuit (i.e., phase lock loop and a VCO) Optical: spectral filtering, self-pulsating semiconductor lasers, fiber lasers, optical nonlinearities Hybrid

    24. Clock Recovery Flexible and robust High-speed: capable of operating on payloads at 10 Gb/s and beyond Conventional or burst-mode operation: suitable for circuit-switched or packet-switched transmission High tolerance: to variability in power levels of input signals or density of logical 0 data bits Low timing jitter Many of these features can be achieved with all-optical clock recovery

    25. All-Optical Clock Recovery Additional considerations Modulation format: NRZ, RZ, DPSK, etc. Polarization Multi-channel operation, i.e., can the same device process multiple channels simultaneously? Sub-harmonic clock recovery for ultrahigh (e.g., beyond 40 Gb/s) payloads

    26. Two Approaches Purely passive approach using optical fiber or fiber-based components Temporal Talbot effect Active approach based on a fiber laser Mode-locking using optical nonlinearities

    27. Infinite periodic input pulse train propagating through 1st order dispersive medium Individual pulses broaden, overlap, and interfere with each other For specific values of dispersion, interference results in imaged pulses (with same frequency as input or multiplied frequency) Temporal Talbot Effect

    28. What happens if we use a finite duration pulse train? Temporal Talbot Effect

    29. Temporal Talbot Effect Integer self-imaging with finite pulse trains Effect persists even after input pulse train ends (characterize by the number of pulses nd that it takes for the output amplitude to pass from 90% to 10%)

    30. Memory/Buffering with the Temporal Talbot Effect Regular pulse train generation from a PRBS

    31. Experimental Demonstration

    32. Results No baseline in output All bit slots contain pulses RF baseline drops Some amplitude fluctuations (can be reduced using power limiter)
