Abstract
All‐optical multiwavelength conversion (MWC) enables optical layer multicast without electronic processing. Wavelength conversion by four‐wave‐mixing (FWM) offers strict transparency in bit rate and modulation format. In this letter, a novel FWM MWC scheme is proposed, supported by theoretical analysis and experimental performance evaluation at 10/20/40 Gb/s. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
