چکیده

A wavelength converter is presented that is made out of a semiconductor optical amplifier and an optical bandpass filter. Error-free inverted wavelength conversion is demonstrated at a bitrate of 80 Gbit=s. This approach can be exploited at higher bitrates. A clear open eye indicating error-free wavelength conversion at 160 Gbit=s is also presented. This wavelength converter has a simple configuration and allows photonic integration.

All-optical signal processing for optical packet switching networks [5907-20]

We discuss how all-optical signal processing might play a role in future all-optical packet switched networks. We introduce a concept of optical packet switches that employ entirely all-optical signal processing technology. The optical packet switch is made out of three functional blocks: the optical header processing block, the optical memory block and the wavelength conversion block. The oper...

Ultrahigh-speed and widely tunable wavelength conversion based on cross-gain modulation in a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier.

We present ultrahigh-speed and full C-band tunable wavelength conversions using cross-gain modulation in a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA). In this study, we successfully demonstrated error-free 320-Gbit/s operation of an all-optical wavelength converter (AOWC) using the QD-SOA for the first time. We also demonstrated full C-band tunable operation of the AOWC in the wavelen...

Evaluation of Wavelength Conversion Based on Cross-Gain Modulation in Quantum- Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers for 40 Gbit/s NRZ Signals

This paper presents a simulation study of Quantum-Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (QD-SOAs) used for wavelength conversion based on Cross-Gain Modulation (XGM). The key characteristics of these devices are presented along with a rate equations model. This model is used to perform XGM simulations. Performance under different operating regimes is analyzed. Near patterning-effect free wavelen...

Impairments on 40 Gbit/s per Channel WDM Optical System with Wavelength Conversion

High transport capacity optical networks, carrying information as fast as a few terabit by second, are now being developed. In this paper we discuss the major performance limiting factors imposed by each of the network’s subsystems. Optical wavelength conversion in the network’s nodes allows channel cross connecting without blocking probability. Thus, wavelength conversion based on four-wavmixi...
