Abstract
We demonstrate a tunable WDM wavelength converter based on XPM in just 6m of highly nonlinear holey fiber and incorporating a precise, compression tuned apodized fiber-grating filter. We achieve broadband 10Gbit/s wavelength conversion (〜20nm) with a constant pulsewidt due to short device length and correspondingly reduced pulse walk-off effects.
