Abstract

With the help of the semiconductor optical amplifier developed by ourselves,2.5 Gbits/s all optical wavelength conversion based on cross gain modulation is studied.Wavelength up conversion happened in the range of 1549.8nm and 1562.6nm.Influence of modulation format and pumping power on conversion efficiency,extinction ratio and noise characteristics are also studied.The experimental results are illustrated in detail.
