Abstract
We propose a novel photonic packet compression and decompression by supercontinuum generation, followed by spectrum-slicing and time-shifting. 10 Gbit/s-to-40 Gbit/s photonic packet compression and 40 Gbit/s-to-10 Gbit/s photonic packet decompression are experimentally demonstrated. Unique feature of this scheme is capable of simultaneous wavelength conversion. The proposed method would realize network transparency in the future photonic packet switching network.
