Pilot tones in WDM networks with wavelength converters

Here we investigate the transmission of a pilot tone through an interferometric wavelength converter (IWC) in conjunction with a 2.5 Gbit/s experiment. The pilot tone is added by sinusoidal modulation of the bias current to the signal laser. After the IWC (Michelson interferometer) the converted signal is analysed using a bit-error-rate (BER) counter and a lightwave analyzer.
