Abstract

A fast tunable delay line which can tune over 1024 channels at an aggregate data rate of 50 Gbps is demonstrated. The device consists a multi-stage feed-forward delay line structure, one input and one output modulator. The structure is easily scaled for large number of time slots with minimum passive lattices and two modulators, hence reducing the cost, complexity loss.
