Abstract :
All-optical wavelength conversion with multicasting has been demonstrated with a single electroabsorption modulator based on cross-absorption modulation. It is shown that the input signal wavelength can simultaneously convert to six different wavelengths at 10 Gbit/s, and the relation between the power penalty and the number of simultaneously operating channels is investigated.
