Abstract :
We report the fabrication and characterization of an InP monolithically integrated optical circuit for all-optical wavelength-conversion. The device is based on double stage cross-gain-modulation/compression in SOAs. We experimentally demonstrate 10 Gb/s operation with low power penalty.
