Abstract
We analyze the system performance of gain-saturated SOA-based all-opti cal wavelength shifting with respect to its dynamic characteristics. W hen considering the risetime, contrast ratio and intersymbol interfere nce, we find that there ;exists an optimal probe power and wavelength for high-speed wavelength shifting which reduces the power penalty by 3 dB. The minimum power penalties for the data rates of 10 and 20 Gb/s are 2.5 and 5 dB, respectively.
