High-Speed Correlation and Equalization Using a Continuously Tunable All-Optical Tapped Delay Line

We demonstrate a reconfigurable high-speed optical tapped delay line (TDL), enabling several fundamental real-time signal processing functions such as correlation (for pattern search) and equalization. Weighted taps are created and added using optical multicasting and multiplexing schemes that utili...
