摘要：
We demonstrate wavelength conversion using broad-band orthogonal pumps four-wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier placed in a fiber ring cavity. The widely tunable all-optical wavelength converter operates with only one external pump laser. The wavelength-conversion efficiency has a variation smaller than 3 dB over a 40 nm. range. Our result shows that the converter can operate with any arbitrary input and output wavelengths within the range. The measured power penalty is only 1.5 dB for a 2.5 Gb/s signal at 10(-9) bit-error-rate. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
