dc.description.abstractWe numerically analyze the effectiveness of a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) based on standard communication fiber with randomly varying birefringence for demultiplexing streams of picosecond pulses at 100 GHz. A broad switching window of about three pulse full-width at half maximum (FWHM) can be obtained. The device performance is defined by the pulse duration, the dispersion of the fiber, and the fiber length. We show that imperfect averaging of the randomly varying birefringence causes amplitude fluctuations on the NOLM transmission curve. We also show that the Raman self-frequency shift does not affect the NOLM switching characteristics at picosecond pulse durations.
