Abstract
Wavelength conversion at 20Gbit/s, to longer and shorter wavelength, i s achieved using cross gain-compression in a semiconductor optical amp lifier. Quantitative performance is assessed from bit error rate data at 20Gbit/s, for the first time for any wavelength conversion scheme. For conversion 10nm to shorter wavelength, the penalty is 2.6dB.
