Abstract
Wavelength converters have been shown to enhance the flexibility of future wavelength-division multiplexed networks by accommodating the re-routing of data packets onto different wavelengths.1 Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) offer advantages over optical fiber devices for wavelength conversion because of their small size, low cost, and wide tuning range.
