Abstract

Summary form only given. In conclusion, we have reported on the first successful 10 Gbit/s operation of a compact MQW interferometric wavelength converter. The bandwidth was increased compared to previously reported MQW-based structures taking advantage of higher differential gain and optical confinement factor as achieved by optimizing the MQW layer structure.
