Abstract
A demonstration is presented of 10Gbit/s 2R regenerative wavelength up- and down-conversion within the C-band as well as up-conversion to the L-band u sing a monolithically integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer module with se miconductor optical amplifiers (MZI-SOAs). The converted output signals exh ibit very low noise and chirp which is accompanied by a negative power pena lty.
