Abstract :
Demonstration of wavelength conversion of 2.5 Gbit/s signals using a tunable DBR laser as the wavelength converting element. This is to the authors´ knowledge the highest bitrate used in a wavelength conversion transmission experiment. We present penalty free conversion by more than 15 nm and a signal chip-gain of 13 dB.
