EAM-Based All-Optical Converter Runs at 40 Gbit/s

by Tami Freeman optics.org News, 2 Mar 2006 All-optical wavelength conversion -- the transfer of data streams from one wavelength carrier to another -- could play a central role in the management and routing of signals in next-generation optical networks. Importantly, say its advocates, it can help to decrease the number of optical-electrical-optical conversions. Read more
