Wavelength converter-reshaper based on multi-wavelengths spectral components generation in optical fibre

摘要

We demonstrate the possibility of an all-optical device suitable for distribution network, through BER measurements and power transfer functions, based on multi-wavelength generation in Dispersion Shifted optical fibre due to the Kerr non-linearity. The main characteristics of such a device are the large number of generated spectral components that permit to cover the ITU-grid and the reshaper behaviour observed in the converted signals.
