Abstract :
Absorption recovery time and cross-phase modulation characteristics of an MQW electroabsorption modulator (EAM) were experimentally analysed. 80 Gbit/s error-free operation of a wavelength converter using the MQW EAM in a delayed-interferometer configuration was demonstrated for the first time.
