Wavelength conversion for WDM communication systems using four-wavemixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers [PDF]
Four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor optical amplifiers is an attractive mechanism for wavelength conversion in wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems since it provides modulation format and bit rate transparency over wide tuning ranges.
