Abstract
We argue that the use of nonlinear semiconductor optical amplifiers for all-optical processing of phase encoded signals offers potential benefits. To illustrate the point, we demonstrate QPSK to 8PSK conversion and decomposition of QPSK to two BPSK outputs at new wavelengths by four-wave mixing.
