  • Abstract
    We demonstrate wavelength conversion of 64-QAM signals with BER below the forward error correction threshold (2×10-3) over the entire C-band using two co-polarized pumps. We also investigate the dependence of the power penalty on input optical-signal-to-noise-ratio with a single pump configuration.
