Abstract
We report on efficient (-7-dB fiber-to-fiber), wide-band (over 70 nm), tuna ble, and excess-noise-free mid-span spectral inverters based on cascaded se cond-order nonlinearities in periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides, We demon strate their performance in a 4 x 10 Gb/s transmission over 150 km of stand ard single-mode fiber.
