Design optimization of ultra-high bit-rate NOLM-based OTDM demultiplexers

The performance of a NOLM gate as an OTDM demultiplexer for 640 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s was investigated considering the characterization of the switching windows through the integrated contrast ratio. The results show that short loop lengths should be preferred.
