Abstract :
In this paper we discuss filtering schemes for performing wavelength conversion with QD-SOA. We identify that the selection of the optimum filter depends on the operating regimes of the nonlinear device. Experimental implementations of the proposed schemes demonstrate efficient wavelength conversion with high quality factors.
