All-optical modulation and demultiplexing systems with significant timing jitter tolerance through incorporation of pulse-shaping fiber Bragg gratings

In this letter, we demonstrate the use of a superstructured fiber Bragg grating to preshape optical pulses to obtain optimal operation of nonlinear all-optical switches. Specifically, we demonstrate the conversion of 2.5 ps soliton pulses into 20 ps rectangular pulses at the input to both fiber and...
