Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate a bit depth and sample rate tunable and reconfigurable optical digital to analog converter (DAC) using conversion/dispersion based delays with optical multicasting and multiplexing. 4-bit 10-GSample/s optical DAC is realized with ~2% and ~5.6% error from theory for electrical and optical multiplexing, respectively.
