Descrição

Wavelength multicasting at 40Gb/s is demonstrated by all-optical multi-wavelength conversion based on a single MZI-SOA. Simultaneous ITU grid 200GHz spaced one-to-four conversion is achieved with negligible sensitivity difference among all the multicast channels. Furthermore, we propose some new all-optical applications enabled by this technology.
