Abstract
An all-optical pulse width and wavelength converter is demonstrated using a nonlinear optical loop mirror. The conversion of a 10 Gb/s, 8 ps pulse width data stream at 1551 nm to a 23 ps pulse width data stream at 1543 nm is demonstrated. The control pulse energy required for switching is 10 pJ. Bit-error-rate measurements are presented.Keywords
