Ly. Lin et al., POLARIZATION-INSENSITIVE WAVELENGTH CONVERSION UP TO 10 GB S BASED ON4-WAVE-MIXING IN A SEMICONDUCTOR OPTICAL AMPLIFIER/, IEEE photonics technology letters, 10(7), 1998, pp. 955-957
Polarization-insensitive wavelength conversion at 2.5 and 10 Gb/s usin
g four-wave mixing in a bulk semiconductor optical amplifier is report
ed. At 10 Gb/s, a conversion range from 6.4-nm wavelength downshift to
4.8-nm upshift has been demonstrated. The conversion efficiency and s
ignal-to-noise ratio versus conversion range are also characterized.
