Abstract
Tunable all-optical wavelength converters have been regarded as key optoelectronic devices in intelligent next generation optical networks. Novel scheme for tunable wavelength conversion based on semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based fiber ring laser is proposed out firstly. Theoretical model for this novel scheme is established. Conversion output characteristics are calculated theoretically and measured experimentally in different conditions. Experimental results are coincidence with theoretical results. Tunable wavelength conversion at 2.5Gb/s with 40nm tuning range is demonstrated experimentally. Experimental and theoretical studies show that this novel scheme is worthy of further investigation.
