Abstract :
The authors have demonstrated a high performance, non-interferometric, semiconductor-optical-amplifier/fibre-Bragg-grating wavelength converter requiring a record low switching power of <-12 dBm for return-to-zero data at 10 Gbit/s. The converted output is a non-inverting signal with an extinction ratio of 30. The transmission properties of the converted output in non-dispersion-shifted fibre are also investigated
