Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate tunable wavelength conversion of 10 Gb/s RF-tone assisted OFDM signal with high conversion efficiency over ~30 nm tuning range using a PPLN waveguide. A penalty of < 3 dB is obtained after wavelength conversion with different QAM sizes and subcarrier numbers.
