Abstract
Based on four-wave mixing (FWM) with an optical comb source (OCS), we experimentally demonstrate 26-way or 15-way wavelength multicasting of 10-Gb/s differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) data in a highly-nonlinear fiber (HNLF) or a silicon waveguide, respectively. The OCS provides multiple spectrally equidistant pump waves leading to a multitude of FWM products after mixing with the signal. We achieve error-free operation with power penalties less than 5.7 dB for the HNLF and 4.2 dB for the silicon waveguide, respectively.
