Abstract
This paper reports on the utilization of the timedomain
optical Fourier transformation (OFT) technique for
serial-to-parallel conversion of optical time division multiplexed
(OTDM) data tributaries into dense wavelength division multiplexed
(DWDM) channels. The OFT is implemented by using a
dispersive medium followed by phase modulation; the latter being
achieved by a four-wave mixing process with linearly chirped
pump pulses. Both numerical and experimental investigations of
the OTDM-to-WDM conversion technique are carried out. Experimental
validations are performed on
