The two/three-tap OTDL is demonstrated to simultaneously equalize a first signal and to search two/three-symbol patterns on another channel.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicOpticsPhysics, AppliedEngineeringOpticsPhysicsScalable and Reconfigurable Optical Tap-Delay-Line for Multichannel Equalization and Correlation of 20-Gbaud QPSK signals Using Nonlinear Wave Mixing and a Microresonator Kerr Frequency Combtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
