Weshow demodulation and demultiplexing of multi-channel WDM differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK)signals operating simultaneously at 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s usinga 1×4 wavelength selective switch. We achieve error-free performance forfour channels equally spaced by 100 GHz propagated over an85 km dispersion-compensated link. We study the advantages and limitationsof this new DPSK demodulator compared with the conventional delay-lineinterferometer. ©2010 Optical Society of America
