  • Abstract
    160 Gbit/s transmission through a 50 km fibre link followed by 160 Gbit/s all-optical SOA-based wavelength conversion, and subsequently the converted 160 Gbit/s signal is successfully transmitted through another 50 km fibre link, is demonstrated. Error-free operation is achieved with acceptable penalty levels in the whole experimental system.
