Highlight results include broadband wavelength conversion of high-bit rate optical signals, time division multiplexing of 320 Gb/s signals and characterization of 320 Gb/s signals using a photonic chip based RF spectrum analyzer with terahertz bandwidth. The performance advantages stem from the waveguide's design for high nonlinearity and a near zero dispersion at the 1550 nm wavelength. These features are shown to enhance the efficiency of the nonlinear processes underpinning many all-optical signal processing functions.Keywords: 1550 nm; All-optical signal processing; Bit rates; High nonlinearity; Near-zero dispersions; Non-linear signal processing; Nonlinear optical signal processing nonlinear waveguide devices; Nonlinear process; Optical signals; Photonic chips; RF-spectrum; Te Nonlinear optical signal processing; nonlinear waveguide devices; Spectrum analysis; Ultrafast demultiplexing; Wavelength conversion200910.1109/ICTON.2009.51853152016-02-24
