Wavelength Conversion and 9-Fold Multicasting of a 21.4 Gbit/s DPSK Data Channel Using Supercontinuum Generation

We demonstrate wavelength conversion and 9-fold multicasting of a 21.4-Gbit/s DPSK signal using supercontinuum generation. Multicasting is accomplished using a polarization based periodic filter for spectral slicing. Power penalties <3dB are achieved for all channels.
