Abstract

We present efficient wavelength conversion of a polarization-multiplexed RZ-DQPSK channel through cascading in a lithium niobate waveguide. BER measurements confirm that this is a promising technique for signal processing in high-bit-rate phase-modulated formats.We present efficient wavelength conversion of a polarization-multiplexed RZ-DQPSK channel through cascading in a lithium niobate waveguide.
