Error-free 320 Gb/s SOA-based Wavelength Conversion using Optical Filtering

Abstract: We demonstrate error-free 320 Gb/s SOA-based optical wavelength conversion. By utilizing optical filtering, an effective recovery time of less than 1.8 ps is achieved in an SOA, which ensures 320 Gb/s operation. OCIS codes: (190.5970) Semiconductor nonlinear optics, (250.5980) Semiconductor optical amplifier 1. Introduction All-optical wavelength converters (AOWCs) are considered as important building blocks in the future high-capacity wavelength-division-multiplexed networks. AOWCs that utilize nonlinearities… Show more

“…All extinction ratios exceed 10 dB, and the eye opening factors exceed 0.7. This scheme has the potential to operate at a higher bit rate because wavelength conversion with a similar program was demonstrated at 320 Gb/s [12,13].…”

“…Error-free wavelength conversion based on cross-phase modulation (XPM) in a single SOA assisted by filtering at 320 Gbit/s using discrete components [5] and a monolithically integrated AOWC at 80 Gbit/s [6], consisting of an SOA and an arrayed-waveguide grating, have been demonstrated. In these experiments, the converted signal at the SOA output had the inverse polarity compared to the input signal.…”

“…Due to their integration potential and power efficiency, SOAs have attracted considerable research interest as wavelength converters. Errorfree wavelength conversion based on cross-gain and crossphase modulation (XGM, XPM) in a single SOA has been demonstrated at up to 320 Gb/s [2]. However, using XGM and XPM implies that the same SOA cannot be used to convert signals of different modulation formats or speeds, as required additional manipulation of the signal, implies altering the convertor [2].…”

However, using XGM and XPM implies that the same SOA cannot be used to convert signals of different modulation formats or speeds, as required additional manipulation of the signal, implies altering the convertor [2]. Recently [3], a single convertor design has been suggested to perform both DPSK and OOK conversion, however the suggested convertor can only convert one of these modulation formats at any given time, requires more than a single SOA for operation and has a noticeable high penalty for alternating modulation formats.…”
