Abstract
In this letter, 40-Gb/s return-to-zero data wavelength conversion is demons trated using cross-phase modulation in an optical fiber with subsequent con version of phase modulation to amplitude modulation using an optical filter . The scheme is potentially ultrahigh speed and can be made polarization in dependent.
