Abstract

We propose a broadband all optical wavelength conversion scheme based on a dual driven Mach-Zendher modulator along the entire C band. Successful signal demodulation of 5 shifted 100 Gbps Nyquist QPSK channels separated by 50GHz between each other around the original optical modulated signal is reported. The propose wavelength conversion schemes enables dynamic bandwidth allocation on next generation optical superchannels.
