We demonstrate all-optical time division demultiplexing from 160Gb/s to 10Gb/s in the C-band, based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a silicon nanowire. We achieve error-free operation with a system penalty of approximately 3.9dB at 10(-9) BER.

Error-free operation with a system penalty of ~4.1 dB at 10 9 BER is achieved. All-optical wavelength conversion for 10 Gb ©2011 Optical Society of America
