Optical signal processing techniques employ a wide range of devices and various nonlinearities to achieve multiple network functionalities. The choice of nonlinearity can also impact the relative efficiency, both in terms of energy and material consumption, of the signal processing function being implemented. Techniques for some of the important functionalities, wavelength multicasting, wavelength-division multiplexing to time-division multiplexing, add-drop multiplexing, and wavelength exchange are compared in terms of the used optical spectrum, number of pumps required, and optical energy consumed. These include varieties of four-wave mixing, cross-phase modulation, Kerr-effectbased polarization rotation in optical fibers, and three-wave mixing in lithium niobate waveguides (WGs). Future possibilities of greener optical signal processing using on-chip WG technologies are discussed within the scope of recent developments in the dispersion tailored, highly nonlinear WGs.

“…Four-wave mixing (FWM) is an attractive mechanism for wavelength conversion in the implementation of high-performance wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems and wavelength-routing or optical switching networks, since it provides full transparency to modulation format and bit rate [7,8]. So far, several schemes of tunable wavelength conversion and multicasting have been demonstrated by exploiting FWM in conventional dispersion-shifted fibers (DSFs) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, the necessity of placing the pump wavelength near the zero-dispersion wavelength of a DSF is required to ensure phase matching.…”

Optical networking applications require the use of all-optical wavelength converters with input and output wavelength tenability as well as large numbers of multicasting channels. This article demonstrates the single-to-multiple wavelength conversion via multiple four-wave mixings between a 10-Gbit/s return-to-zero signal and several continuous waves co-propagating in a dispersion-flattened highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber. For single-to-single channel wavelength conversion, a wide conversion range of 31 nm is achieved with the optimal conversion efficiency of 21.4 dB. By employing several continuous-wave probe lights, tunable single-todual and single-to-triple channel wavelength conversions are experimentally demonstrated, respectively. Moreover, the dynamic characteristics of the designed wavelength converter are studied under the conditions of variable input powers, polarization mismatch, and different lengths of the highly non-linear-photonic crystal fiber. The system is transparent to both bit rate and modulation format. This is very useful for engineering design and applications of optical-fiber-based wavelength converters in future ultra-high-speed photonic networks.

“…To name a few, four-wave mixing (FWM) [2][3][4], cross-phase modulation (XPM) [5][6][7], cross absorption modulation (XAM) [8][9][10] and cross-gain modulation (XGM) [11] have proven promising results for WDM wavelength-routed multicast. However, FWM is limited by its low conversion efficiency and wavelength inflexibility [2][3][4]. XAM suffers from the large insertion loss of the electroabsorption modulator utilized and only MWC of RZ signals has been demonstrated [8][9][10].…”
