Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate the use of continuously tunable optical parametric delay at 160 Gbit/s, based on conversion/dispersion for demultiplexing a 160 Gbit/s signal to 40 Gbit/s. A $15.2\mathrm{ns}$ delay is shown for a 160 Gbit/s signal, with $<0.1\mathrm{ps}$ resolution, achieved by inserting cascaded acousto-optic modulators after the pump laser for delay fine tuning.
