1.5 Gbit/s transmission system using all optical wavelength convertor based on tunable two-electrode DFB laser

Abstract

An optical wavelength convenor has been successfully operated up to 1.5Gbit/s. This wavelength conversion used a two-electrode DFB laser where an amplitude modulated (AM) input signal at 1.5171 μm was converted into a frequency modulated (FM) output signal at 1.5136 μm.
