We demonstrate error-free asynchronous all-optical time-division and amplitude-division demultiplexing based on polarization-independent TDM-WDM conversion, which realizes an intensity-dependent self-frequency shift in GHz Raman soliton. An 800 Gbit/s (128 /spl times/ 6.3 Gbit/s) optical TDM signal is simultaneously demultiplexed to 6.3 Gbit/s multiple-channel signals. We demultiplex a random data signal with a time slot of narrower than 800 fs corresponding to a 1.28 Tbit/s OTDM signal. Furthermore, our demultiplexer is capable of demultiplexing from overlapping OTDM signals with 2.0 ps pulse width and 780 fs time delay.

We implemented a single-wavelength, pulsed Raman pump with several Watts of output power, widely variable duty cycle and repetition rate, and 12 dB extinction ratio (maximum power/minimum power) using a cascaded Raman fiber lasers at 1465 nm that was modulated by a LiNbO/sub 3/ Mach-Zehnder modulator and passed through a dual stage, high-power cascaded Raman fiber amplifier (CRA).

Reliable 135 W CW ytterbium doped fiber laser has been demonstrated with measured M/sup 2/ < 1.05. The stimulated Raman scattering imposed the major limit on the output power. No thermal distortions or damage of the fiber core was observed.

We report the continuous-wave operation of singly-resonant fiber optical parametric oscillators. In a cavity formed by 100 m of highly-nonlinear fiber and two fiber Bragg gratings, pump power threshold was 240 mW; output wavelength could be tuned over 80 nm by tuning the pump. We also obtained an internal conversion efficiency of 30%, compared to the maximum theoretical value of 50%, by using a 1 km-long cavity.

We demonstrate strong amplification (>21 dB) of 200 fs pulses in a quantum-dot semiconductor amplifier. Our measurements have shown that such quantum-dot devices can amplify of femtosecond pulses in a spectral range exceeding 100 nm.
