Abstract :
Wavelength conversion of 160 Gb/s OTDM data using cross-phase modulation in 500 m of dispersion-shifted fiber is demonstrated for the first time. The converted channels can be received with a BER better than 10/sup -9/ and have a power penalty of <5 dB as compared to the 10 Gb/s baseline across all 16/spl times/10 Gbps channels.
