Efficient Ultra-Broadband C-to-O Band Converter Based on Multi-Mode Silicon-on-Insulator Waveguides

Abstract

We present a novel all-optical wavelength converter based on inter-modal FWM in a p-i-n-diode-assisted SOI integrated waveguide that is capable of converting wavelengths from the entire C band to the O band. 32 Gbd QPSK converted signals were experimentally transmitted over 100 km.
