Abstract

Tunable all-optical wavelength conversion (AOWC) within 151 nm bandwidth is demonstrated in a thin-film periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide, which utilizes the cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference-frequency generation (cSHG/DFG) process. Also, in the same waveguide, AOWC of a 92-Gb/s 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulated (16-QAM) signal within the C-band is successfully achieved. For Bit-error ratio (BER) measurements, we obtain a negligible optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) penalty (<0.2 dB) for the converted idler wave at a BER of 1e-3.
