9412862 Vahala A series of systems level experiments of wide-band, lossless, wavelength converters shall be carried out. These wavelength converters are based on the principles of four wave mixing in quantum well traveling-wave amplifiers. The experiments planned include a measurement of the intensity noise introduced into the converted signal by the conversion process, a single channel system measurement testing the effect of the converter on bit error rate (BER), a two channel measurement to study potential channel cross-talk effects caused by the conversion process, and a feasibility test of semiconductor TWA wavelength converters for dispersion compensation by way of the spectral inversion technique. In addition, mixed-strain amplifiers will be investigated as polarization independent converters. The amplifiers used in this project will be supplied at no charge by AT&T Bell Laboratories. In addition, a 500MB/sec bit error rate tester will be donated to the project b AT&T Bell Laboratories (see letter in proposal). ***

9412862 Vahala应进行一系列宽带无损波长转换器的系统级实验。 这些波长转换器基于量子阱行波放大器中的四波混频原理。 计划的实验包括测量由转换过程引入到转换信号中的强度噪声，测试转换器对误码率（BER）的影响的单通道系统测量，研究由转换过程引起的潜在通道串扰影响的双通道测量，以及利用光谱反转技术对半导体TWA波长转换器进行色散补偿的可行性测试。 此外，混合应变放大器将作为偏振无关转换器进行研究。 本项目中使用的放大器将由AT T贝尔实验室免费提供。 此外，还将向AT T贝尔实验室的项目B捐赠一台500 MB/秒的误码率测试仪（见建议书中的信函）。 ***
