Multi-Format Wavelength Conversion Using Quantum Dash Mode-Locked Laser Pumps

Multi-Format Wavelength Conversion Using Quantum Dash Mode-Locked Laser Pumps

We investigate and compare the performance of wavelength conversion for two different non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation formats at 40 Gb/s: on off keying (OOK) and differential phase-shift keying (DPSK). To achieve wide wavelength coverage and integrability, we use a dual pump scheme exploiting fo...
