Abstract
The capability of a highly-nonlinear fibre (HNLF) as the phase shifting element in a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) for all-optical adding/dropping optical time domain multiplexed (OTDM) channels has been demonstrated. Error-free add/drop operation of 40 Gbit/s base rate channels from a 160 Gbit/s OTDM signal has been achieved.
