HOMODYNE CROSSTALK TOLERANCE ENHANCEMENT BY ALL-ACTIVE MZI-SOA WAVELENGTH CONVERTERS

摘要

In this paper, we propose and experimentally investigate the use of all-active MZI-SOA wavelength converters to suppress the homodyne crosstalk of high-speed optical signals. Crosstalk tolerance is found to be enhanced by >19-dB for 2.5-Gbps data and about 7-dB for 10-Gbps data.
