Abstract
An all-optical wavelength-converter based on monolithic integration of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and integrated semiconductor optical am plifiers was demonstrated. This device exhibited high stability, penal ty-free conversion at 5 Gbit/s (at a BER of 10(9)), no-excess penalty after a transmission over 60 km on standard fiber, and low signal-pola rization dependency, The device operated in a 26-nm-wide optical windo w.
