Compact optical temporal processors.

چکیده
Optical signal processing can be done with time-lens devices. A temporal processor based on chirp-z transformers is suggested. This configuration is more compact than a conventional 4-ƒ temporal processor. On the basis of implementation aspects of such a temporal processor, we did a performance analysis. This analysis leads to the conclusion that an ultrafast optical temporal processor can be implemented.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a temporal differentiator in optical field based on a silicon microring resonator with a radius of 40 microm. The microring resonator operates near the critical coupling region, and can take the first order derivative of the optical field. It features compact size thus is suitable for integration with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based optical and electro...
متن کاملAll-Optical Ultrafast Signal Processors Based on Long-Period Fiber Gratings
A simple and practical all-fiber approach for realizing ultrafast optical differentiators is proposed and numerically tested. In particular, it is demonstrated that first-order and second-order temporal differentiation of an arbitrary optical waveform can be realized by simply propagating the waveform through a suitable uniform longperiod grating photoinscribed in the core of an optical fiber (...
