Abstract

Based on cross polarization modulation effect in semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA),wavelength conversion was analyzed theoretically. Which shows that wavelength conversion can be realized. Both inverted and non-inverted wavelength conversions of 10 Gb/s RZ signal were experimentally achieved simultaneously for the first time,with 8.1 dB and 6.9 dB output extinction ratio respectively.
