Detailed experimental investigation of all-active dual-order mode Mach-Zehnder wavelength converter

摘要

An all-active dual-order mode (DOMO) converter is presented which has been assessed experimentally at 10 Gbit/s showing almost wavelength-independent performance for signal and CW wavelengths covering the entire EDFA window. In addition, the authors demonstrate, for the first time, wavelength conversion at 20 Gbit/s using this device structure.
