Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate 8-fold multicasting of a 100 Gb/s polarization-multiplexed RZOOK data signal to 200 GHz spaced copies using a highly nonlinear fiber. Degenerate four-wave mixing in a bi-directional wavelength conversion scheme is employed. An average power penalty of ~4 dB at a bit error ratio of 10^-9 is observed with over 45 nm of wavelength conversion bandwidth.
