40 Gbit=s Transmission and Cascaded All-optical Wavelength Conversion over 1 000 000 Km
Introduction: All-optical wavelength converters (AOWC) are envisioned to be part of future high-speed networks. In particular, they might replace optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) wavelength translator units in optical crossconnects [1]. However, to be practical, AOWCs must be able to convert signals that have been degraded during transmission over reasonable distances. Tolerance to timing...
متن کاملUltrahigh-speed all-optical data regeneration and wavelength conversion for OTDM systems
The latest results in ultrafast data regeneration and wavelength conversion with SMZ-type all-optical semiconductor switches are reviewed. In these operations, the SMZ-type switch is driven by random data pulses. The fastest bit rate reported to date for such input-data-driven all-optical operation has reached 168 Gb/s. With these all-optical devices, we may be able to build 160-Gb/s OTDM nodes...
متن کاملUltrahigh-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...
