Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate parametric tunable dispersion compensation with a spectrally non-inverting tunable wavelength converter based on cascaded sum- and difference-frequency generation of PPLN waveguide. An error-free 43-Gbit/s NRZ-OOK transmission over 53.2-km SMF is successfully achieved with a low-power penalty.
