All-optical DPSK wavelength converter based on MZI with integrated SOAs and phase shifters

An integrated MZI-SOA device is developed for all-optical wavelength conversion of DPSK signals. The functionality is investigated close to 40 Gb/s and error free operation with less then 1 dB penalty is demonstrated.
