Optimized CPM wavelength converter for all-optical network application

A novel wavelength converter based on cross-polarization modulation is optimized for all-optical network application. Stable error-free application result is achieved for 10 Gbit/s NRZ signal after transmission through 80 km single-mode fibers between network nodes without dispersion compensation.
