Abstract
We report on four-wave-mixing based all-optical wavelength conversion of a 56 Gb/s DQPSK signal and all-optical demultiplexing of a 170 Gb/s OOK signal in chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers. The high nonlinearity of the fibers allows error free and low power penalty operation with only 60 mW of total average power.
