Reported is the experimental demonstration of wavelength conversion and subsequent demultiplexing of an 80 Gbit/s OTDM signal using the cross-phase modulation and spectral filtering technique in short lengths of bismuth oxide-based nonlinear fibre with a nonlinearity of γ=∼1100 W-1 · km-1. Error-free, overall operation is readily achieved over a wavelength tuning range of ∼10 nm.
