Abstract

We present experimental results and numerical simulations of multi-wavelength conversion of 10 Gb/s NRZ signals based on 2-pumps four-wave mixing, 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s RZ signals derived from supercontinuum (SC) generated in highly nonlinear fibre (HNLF). High quality SC with bandwidth exceeding 50 nm was generated when the HNLF was pumped with 25 dBm average power. Sliced SC can be used as a source for all-optical multicasting
