Abstract
We present for the first time, to our knowledge, second-order intermodulation distortion measurements of a wavelength converted subcarrier multiplexed system employing cross-gain modulation effect of a semiconductor optical amplifier. The experimental results are in agreement with predictions from our previously developed theoretical model.
