AbstractWe demonstrate non-inverted wavelength conversion at 80Gb/s based on cross-phase modulation in a SOA. Using a flat-top 6nm broad filter with sharp roll-off we achieve a penalty of only 0.5dB
IntroductionAll-optical wavelength converters (AOWCs) are likely to become essential building blocks for future dynamic high-capacity optical networks [ 1]. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) have attracted considerable research interest for wavelength conversion due to their integration potential and power efficiency. Error-free wavelength conversion based on cross-gain and cross-phase modulation in a single SOA has been demonstrated at 320 Gb/s at the expense of a large penalty mainly caused by the excessive losses by a polarity inverter required for realizing non-inverted wavelength conversion [ 2]. It has been previously suggested [ 3] and demonstrated [ 4] that 80Gb/s direct non-inverted wavelength conversion can be achieved by filtering of only ...
