Abstract :
Noise suppression effect in wavelength conversion using an externally light injected laser diode is described. Signal fluctuation for the "on" level resulting from signal-spontaneous beat noise from optical amplifiers can be suppressed by utilizing the threshold characteristic in the conversion process.<>
