Abstract
Time-resolved spectral analysis is performed on 10-Gb/s signals wavele ngth converted by four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor optical ampl ifiers, A pattern-dependent chirp resulting from parasitic gain modula tion by the signal is measured and characterized as a function of the converter's pump-to-probe ratio, This chirp is found to be insignifica nt for pump-to-probe ratios exceeding 9 dB.
