Temporal spectral astronomy studies astrophysical phenomena showing spectral variability on very short timescales. The use of fibre Bragg gratings converts the spectral detection into a photometric one, allowing for short timescale variations to be resolved.

We report the first demonstration of a photonic-chip based all-optical XOR gate for 40Gbit/s and 160Gbit/s phase-encoded signals. We achieve error-free, XOR operation for 40Gbit/s signals without power penalty in a dispersion-engineered chalcogenide waveguide.
