Abstract :
We propose a new all-optical wavelength conversion technique based on cross gain modulation (XGM) in gain clamped reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (GC-RSOA). The proposed technique uses the seed light reflected from the FBG as probe signal, thereby avoiding the need of an external seed source for wavelength conversion.
