All-optical wavelength conversion in an integrated ring resonator

Abstract

We present the first system penalty measurements for all-optical wavelength conversion in an integrated ring resonator. We achieve wavelength conversion over a range of 27.7 nm in the C-band at 2.5 Gb/s by exploiting four wave mixing in a CMOS compatible, high index glass ring resonator at approximately 22 dBm average pump power, obtaining < 0.3 dB system penalty.
