Abstract :
We present the first microring-resonator-assisted wavelength converter employing a semiconductor optical amplifier and a tunable, Si3N4-SiO2 microring-resonator-reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer. We demonstrate inverted, noninverted, and wavelength-division-multiplexing-enabled wavelength conversion with low power penalties.
