Abstract

We demonstrate all-optical wavelength conversion (AOWC) of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal based on cross-gain modulation in a single heterogeneously integrated III-V-on-silicon semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with an optical bandpass filter. The SOA is 500 μm long and consumes less than 250 mW electrical power. We experimentally demonstrate 12.5 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s AOWC for both wavelength up and down conversion.

Highlights

  • The rapid growth of the internet and internet-related services call for large-capacity and highspeed data networking

  • We demonstrate all-optical wavelength conversion (AOWC) of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal based on cross-gain modulation in a single heterogeneously integrated III-V-onsilicon semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with an optical bandpass filter

  • We demonstrate AOWC of 12.5 Gb/s NRZ data based on cross-gain modulation in an SOA heterogeneously integrated on an SOI waveguide circuit with an optical bandpass filter (OBF) slightly blue shifted to improve the amplitude recovery and eliminate the pattern effect
