Optical wavelength conversion utilizing cross-absorption modulation and cross-phase modulation in an electroabsorption modulator (EAM) were investigated. Error-free all-optical wavelength conversion at 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s were successfully demonstrated employing bulk-type EAM and MQW-type EAM, respectively, in conjunction with delay interferometer. Electro-optical wavelength conversion with re-timing capability was also demonstrated by rf-driven EAM.
