Abstract :
Transparent optical multicast by multi-wavelength conversion has revealed a brand-new way for performing data multicast function directly in the optical domain without bypassing any electronic processing. Wavelength conversion by four-wave-mixing (FWM) is suitable for high-bitrate data transmission and offers strict transparency to any modulation format. In this paper, experimental results of performance evaluation of multi- wavelength conversion at 10/20/40 Gb/s by FWM in dispersion-shifted fiber are presented and discussed.
