QPSK wavelength multicasting based on four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifier
We experimentally demonstrate one-to-five quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) wavelength multicasting based on four-wave mixing in bulk semiconductor optical amplifier. The input 25 Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero QPSK signal is successfully multicast to five new wavelengths with all information preserved. All the multicast channels are with a power penalty less than 1.1 dB at a bit error rate (BER) of 10-3. A characterization of the conversion efficiency in terms of pump and signal powers using the BER as figure of merit is also presented, the results indicate that the pump and signal powers should be optimized to eliminate the introduced deleterious nonlinear components.
