All-Optical Wavelength Conversion Based on XPM in HNLF

Article Preview

Abstract:

All-optical wavelength conversion using cross-phase modulation (XPM) in a HNLF is demonstrated in this paper. The broadened spectrum caused by XPM which is induced by the input Gaussian pulses is given. The output BER of wavelength conversion is investigated.
