Abstract
40-Gb/s return-to-zero data wavelength conversion is demonstrated using cross-phase modulation in an optical fiber with subsequent conversion of phase modulation to amplitude modulation using an optical filter. The scheme is potentially ultrahigh speed and can be made polarization independent.Keywords
