Abstract

Wavelength conversion of a 10-Gb/s (9.35 Gb/s net rate) return-to-zero ON-OFF keying signal is demonstrated using a simple InP photonic crystal H0 nanocavity with Lorentzian line shape. The shifting of the resonance induced by the generation of free-carriers enables the pump intensity modulation to be transferred to a continuous-wave probe with a sufficiently high quality so that the converted signal can be detected with a conventional telecommunication receiver. A clear eye diagram is observed for the converted signal showing a pre-forward error correction bit-error-ratio down to 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> .
