Th4.3 - Post-Deadline Session 3
Chair: David Payne, ECOC General Co-Chair, United Kingdom

Post deadline sessions are all a standard 15 (12 +3) minutes.

Th4.3.1 16.00 – 16.15
Monolithic Widely Tunable Optical Packet Forwarding Chip in InP for All-Optical Label Switching with 40 Gbps Payloads and 10 Gbps Labels
V Lal, M L Mašanović, D Wolfson, D J Blumenthal, University of California, United States, G Fish, C Coldren, Agility Communications, United States

We describe the first monolithically integrated tunable optical packet forwarding chip in InP. The chip consists of a differential Mach-Zehnder Interferometer SOA 40 Gbps wavelength converter integrated with Mach-Zehnder modulator for 10 Gbps label modulation.

Th4.3.2 16.15 – 16.30
All-optical Switching of 80 Gb/s Data Packets using a Wavelength Converter Controlled by a Monolithically Integrated Optical Flip-flop
Y Liu, E Tangdiongga, M T Hill, J H C van Zantvoort, E Smalbrugge, T de Vries, H Binsma, Y S Oei, X J M Leijtens, M K Smit, G D Khoe, H J S Dorren, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands

We demonstrate all-optical switching of 80 Gb/s data-packets using an optical wavelength converter that consists of an SOA and an optical filter. The wavelength converter is controlled by a monolithically integrated optical flip-flop memory.

Th4.3.3 16.30 – 16.45
Regenerative All Optical Wavelength Conversion of 40-Gb/s DPSK Signals using a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Mach-Zehnder Interferometer
I Kang, C Dorrer, L Zhang, M Rasras, L Buhl, A Bhardwaj, S Cabot, M Dinu, X Liu, M Cappuzzo, L Gomez, A Wong-Foy, Y F Chen, S Patel, D T Neilson, J Jaques, C R Giles, Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, United States

A novel method of all-optical wavelength conversion of DPSK signal is presented. We demonstrate wavelength conversion of 40-Gb/s DPSK signals with a large dynamic range of input OSNR, and significant reduction of phase fluctuations.

Th4.3.4 16.45 – 17.00
First Demonstration of All-optical Clock Recovery at 40 GHz with Standard-Compliant Jitter Characteristics based on a Quantum-dots Self-pulsating Semiconductor Laser
J Renaudier, Alcatel Thales III-V Lab & ENST, France, B Lavigne, Alcatel Research & Innovation, France, M Jourdran, Aeroflex-Europtest, France, P Gallion, ENST, France, F Lelarge, B Dagens, A Accard, O Le Gouezigou, G H Duan, Alcatel Thales III-V Lab, France

We demonstrate for the first time, thanks to a quantum-dots Fabry-Perot laser, the compliance of an all- optical 40 GHz clock recovery with ITU-T standards on time jitter removal for frequencies larger than 4MHz.

Th4.3.5 17.00 – 17.15
All-Optical Wavelength Conversion with Large Wavelength Hopping by Cascaded SOA-Based Wavelength Converters
M Matsuura, N Kishi, T Miki, University of Electro-Communications, Japan

We have demonstrated, for the first time, broadband wavelength conversion in the wavelength range of 1320-1610 nm by using cascaded SOA-based wavelength converters with each different gain bands.

Th4.3.6 17.15 – 17.30
Room-Temperature Tunable Ultraslow Light in 1550 nm VCSEL Amplifier
X Zhao, P Palinginis, B Pesala, C J Chang-Hasnain, University of California, United States, P Hemmer, Texas A & M University, United States

We report the experimental demonstration of tunable optical group delay up to 100 ps for a high speed signal at 2.8 GHz using a 1550 nm VCSEL at room temperature.
