All-Optical Wavelength Conversion Using Widely Tunable V-Cavity Semiconductor Laser

Abstract

We demonstrate a simple wavelength converter exploiting injection-induced wavelength switching in V-cavity laser. A 2.5Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) channel-to-channel wavelength conversion has been modeled using time-domain traveling-wave method and well-open eye diagrams have been experimentally measured.
