ResumoWe report the first demonstration of high bit rate signal processing by a fiber-based photonic wire. We achieve 160 Gb/s demultiplexing via four wave mixing in a 1.9 microm diameter photonic wire tapered from As(2)S(3) chalcogenide glass single mode fibre, with very low pump power requirements ( < 20 mW average power, 0.45 W peak power), enabled by a very high nonlinearity (gamma approximately 7850 W(-1) km (-1) ) and greatly reduced dispersion.
