One-to-eleven (11×10-Gb/s) all-optical NRZ-to-RZ format conversion and wavelength multicasting using a single pump in a highly nonlinear fiber

Abstract

We demonstrate one-to-eleven NRZ-to-RZ format conversion and wavelength multicasting using one pump in a highly-nonlinear-fiber based on various nonlinear processes including XPM, XGM and FWM. Eleven channels (11×10-Gb/s) are error-free (10−9 BER) with 0.8-nm spacing.
