Abstract

The capacity and flexibility of multiwavelength networks can be greatly enhanced by reuse and reallocation of carrier wavelengths. In this context simple wavelength converters are key components and should preserve an all-optical path and be transparent to the bit rate.1 Here we report on the use of a four-section distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) laser with end facets that are antireflection (AR) coated and a waveguide width of 1.5 μm2 as a simple converting element for bit-rates as high as 10 Gbit/s.
