Abstract
The macrobend optical fiber tapped delay line is a new device which is ideally suited for the processing of signals that have very large bandwidths. Two new applications of this device are presented: code generation and matched filtering. An 8-bit code at 1 Gbit/s was generated with a programmable eight tap delay line having 1-ns tap intervals. Matched filtering at a rate of 1 Gbit/s was also demonstrated with a similar deivce. This letter presents the first fiber optic code generator/matched filter of its kind.Keywords
