Abstract :
We propose and demonstrate, for the first time, all-optical multicasting from 1.55- to 1.3-mum wavelength window using the dual-stage cascaded semiconductor-optical-amplifier-based wavelength converter. Using our proposed technique, we also demonstrate amplitude regeneration of the converted signals at each multicasting output
