Intra-node optical path conditioner using a parametric process of highly nonlinear fibers for dynamic optical path networks

摘要

We propose an intra-node optical path conditioner using a parametric process of highly nonlinear fibers for dynamic optical path networks. Fundamental intra-node operation of the parametric optical path conditioner (P-OPC) using a 43-Gb/s RZ-DPSK signal is confirmed. Wavelength-transparent operation of the optical node with dispersion compensation and signal regeneration function is demonstrated.
