Abstract :
A scheme for all-optical conversion of codes for coherent code-division multiplexing is proposed. The key functionality of the scheme is demonstrated by error-free conversion of an encoded data stream at 10 Gbit/s from one code to another. The scheme may enable routing and add/drop multiplexing based on optical codes
