  • Abstract
    Error-free operation at 2.5 Gb/s was demonstrated for the first monolithically integrated widely tunable photocurrent-driven Mach-Zehnder based wavelength converter. Power penalties of 1-2 dB were measured across the 37-nm wavelength range of the sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector.
