Abstract: A selected area growth wavelength converter based on a PD-EAM optical logic gate for WDM application is presented, integrating an EML transmitter and a SOA-PD receiver. The design, fabrication, and DC characters were analyzed. A 2 Gb/s NRZ signal based on the C-band wavelength converted to 1555 nm with the highest extinction ratio of 7 dB was achieved and wavelength converted eye diagrams with eyes opened were presented.

Key words: distributed feedback laser, electro absorption modulator (EAM), photo detector (PD), optical logic gate, selected area growth (SAG), semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)
