Simultaneous multi-wavelength signal conversion for transparent optical multicast
نویسنده
چکیده
Transparent optical multicast by multi-wavelength conversion has revealed a brand-new way for performing data multicast function directly in the optical domain without passing through any electronics. In this paper, several simultaneous multiple wavelength conversion approaches for transparent optical multicast are discussed. Technologies and methods for single-to-multiple-channel wavelength conversions are summarized and compared. The main focus is on four-wave-mixing (FWM) wavelength conversion technique, because it is suitable for high bitrates and offers strict transparency to any data modulation format. Cross-gain modulation (XGM) wavelength conversion has limitations in these respects. Experimental results of FWM and XGM for one-to-twochannel conversion are presented.

Introduction The optical-label switching (OLS) technology supports transparent all-optical routing and sophisticated network functions by processing the short label in the electronic domain while leaving the data payload in the all-optical domain [1]. In this way, the routing is independent of the payload data format and bit rate. Moreover, with the help of electronic circuit, the router can su...
