Abstract
Error-free all-optical 40 Gbit/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to return-to-zero (RZ) format conversion using nonlinear polarisation rotation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is demonstrated. The high bit rate operation of the devices is achieved by incorporating an SOA-based turbo-switch
