演示了160 Gb/s的无误差和模式无关的波长转换。该波长转换器采用恢复时间大于90ps的半导体光放大器（SOA）和放置在放大器输出端的光学带通滤波器（OBF）。本文表明，与转换信号的中心波长相比，中心波长发生蓝移的OBF可将波长转换器的恢复时间缩短至3ps。波长转换器采用市售的光纤尾纤元件构建。它有一个简单的结构，并允许光子集成。
Error-free and pattern-independent wavelength conversion at 160 Gb/s is demonstrated. The wavelength converter utilizes a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with a recovery time greater than 90 ps and an optical bandpass filter (OBF) placed at the amplifier output. This paper shows that an OBF with a central wavelength that is blue shifted compared to the central wavelength of the converted signal shortens the recovery time of the wavelength converter to 3 ps. The wavelength converter is constructed by using commercially available fiber-pigtailed components. It has a simple configuration and allows photonic integration.
