WAVELENGTH CONVERSION USING BISMUTH-BASED NONLINEAR OPTICAL LOOP MIRROR

摘要：

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated that wideband tunable wavelength conversion can be performed by using only 1.9 meter of bismuth-based highly-nonlinear fiber in optical loop mirror configuration (Bi-NOLM). Both inverted and non-inverted wavelength conversion of NRZ-formatted signal at 10 Gb/s were carried out. The range of wavelength conversion is 56 nm. No stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) suppression scheme was required to reduce the reflection problem in the loop due to the high SBS threshold of the fiber. The bit error rate of the wavelength converter is also measured.
