摘要
Using multipump four-wave mixing in a semiconductor optical amplifier, we demonstrate a simple scheme for multicasting an input nonreturn-to-zero 10-Gb/s signal to six different output wavelengths, all compliant with a 200-GHz channel grid. The signals are successfully transmitted in a metro-like system.
