Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate all-optical wavelength conversion of 56 Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals in an Indium Phosphide (InP) photonic integrated circuit implementing a turbo-switch. The circuit consists of two cascaded semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) with a bandpass filter in between. In this configuration, cross gain modulation (XGM) between a modulated input signal and a continuous wave (CW) light in the first SOA allows to generate a wavelength converted copy of the input signal, while the second SOA, fed by the probe signal selected by the filter, ensures a fast gain recovery. Operations in down- and up-conversion are shown by ER and BER measurements, demonstrating the effectiveness of the photonic integrated circuit (PIC).
