Abstract
Four-wave-mixing based on ultrafast nonlinear gain dynamics in a semic onductor laser amplifier was applied for wavelength conversion of a 10 -channel OFDM signal with a channel spacing of 9 GHz and a modulation rate of 140 Mb/s per channel. Conversion over 275 GHz was realised. BE R measurements revealed no severe system degradation due to polarisati on fluctuations or cross-talk.
