Abstract :
Tunable photocurrent-driven wavelength converters using widely tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector lasers, electroabsorption modulators, semiconductor optical amplifiers, and an optically preamplified receiver have been fabricated and tested. Dynamic wavelength conversion has been achieved over 40 nm with optical bandwidths up to 10 GHz.
