Abstrakt: Widely tunable wavelength conversion has been demonstrated using broad-band orthogonal-pump four-wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier placed at the intersection of two fiber ring lasers. The all-optical wavelength converter operates without using any external pump source. A 3-dB conversion-range over 40 nm is obtained. The measured power penalty is 1.5 dB for a 2.5-Gb/s converted signal at 10-9 bit error rate. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
