We present ultrahigh-speed and full C-band tunable wavelength conversions using cross-gain modulation in a quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA). In this study, we successfully demonstrated error-free 320-Gbit/s operation of an all-optical wavelength converter (AOWC) using the QD-SOA for the first time. We also demonstrated full C-band tunable operation of the AOWC in the wavelength range between 1535 nm and 1565 nm at a bit rate of 160-Gbit/s.
我们展示了利用量子点半导体光放大器（QD-SOA）中的交叉增益调制实现的超高速和全C波段可调谐波长转换。在本研究中，我们首次成功演示了使用QD-SOA的全光波长转换器（AOWC）在320 Gbit/s速率下无误码运行。我们还演示了AOWC在160 Gbit/s比特率下于1535 nm至1565 nm波长范围内的全C波段可调谐运行。
