Investigation of fiber based gates for time division demultiplexing up to 640 Gbit/s

We experimentally investigate the switching performance of interferometric gates based on highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF), a Kerr-gate and a nonlinear optical loop mirror. Switching windows are measured and compared for different operation conditions and HNLFs
