We numerically optimize an optical filter through a Genetic Algorithms (GA) in the context of high speed non-inverted wavelength conversion based on a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). An optical filter is critical in the SOA-based wavelength converter because it enables high-speed operation through converting the ultra-fast chirp dynamics of the probe into useful amplitude modulation [1, 2]. In this work we investigate how to optimize the filter to achieve optimal performance of the wavelength converted signal. Moreover, the robustness of the optimized filter against SOA operation conditions is also explored. Similar filter optimization has also been performed but in a manual way [3].
