We aim to present an innovative scheme for wavelength conversion alternative to classical interferometric architectures present in literature, i.e. Mach-Zehnder and Sagnac, based on Kerr-due fiber Cross Phase Modulation (XPM). We offer a comparison of the proposed converter with other usual architectures. Intrinsic impairments in XPM-based converter are discussed and experimentally evaluated. Brillouin-induced converted waveform distortion is analyzed and experimentally demonstrated at 2.5 Gb/s, by meand of BER penalty measures.

Abstract
We aim to present an innovative scheme for wavelength conversion alternative to classical interferometric architectures present in literature, i.e. Mach-Zehnder and Sagnac, based on Kerr-due fiber Cross Phase Modulation (XPM). We offer a comparison of the proposed converter with other usual architectures. Intrinsic impairments in XPM-based converter are discussed and experimentally evaluated. Brillouin-induced converted waveform distortion is analyzed and experimentally demonstrated at 2.5 Gb/s, by meand of BER penalty measures.File in questo prodotto:
