Abstract
Wavelength shifting will play an important role in future wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical networks by allowing for wavelength reuse. Such wavelength reuse permits the number of network users to be much greater than the number of available wavelengths. Recent work has reported 20 Gbit/s wavelength shifting by a bulk semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and a quantum well SOA.1,2
