Abstract

Efficient time-division demultiplexing using two different wavelengths, one for the signal and one for the control beam, has been implemented in an AlGaAs nonlinear directional coupler at 1550 nm. This all optical demultiplexer makes use of cross-phase modulation and walk-off between the two wavelengths to give high contrast at both low and high powers and to eliminate the pulse break-up, Additionally, ultrafast wavelength shifting has been observed.
