All-optical wavelength conversion using cross-phase modulation at 42.7 Gbit/s in silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) waveguides

Error-free wavelength conversion using cross-phase modulation (XPM) is shown in a passive 4 mm long silicon-organic hybrid waveguide. This is the first XPM demonstration in a CMOS compatible chip for bitrates of 42.7 Gbit/s at communication wavelengths.
