Abstract :
80 Gbit/s pulsewidth-maintained wavelength conversion based on a high-nonlinearity dispersion shifted fibre nonlinear optical loop mirror (DSF-NOLM) is realised and penalty-free transmission over 80 km conventional single mode fibre and 12 km dispersion compensating fibre of the converted signal is demonstrated for the first time
