Abstract

Due to its relative low baud rate as well as simple and costefficient implementation, dual-carrier polarization-division-multiplexing 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (PDM-16QAM) is a promising candidate for the next generation optical systems and networks at 400Gb/s per channel. The co-polarized dual-pump scheme, based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a 1-km high nonlinear fiber (HNLF), can realize the alloptical wavelength conversion (AOWC) of the dual-carrier PDM-16QAM signal with spectral non-inversion and polarization insensitivity. We first experimentally demonstrated AOWC of the 544-Gbit/s dual-carrier PDM- 16QAM signal based on the co-polarized dual-pump scheme. We investigated the conversion efficiency (CE) and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the converted signal at different pump spacing and pump power. We measured that the OSNR penalty is 0.6 dB due to AOWC when the biterror ratio (BER) and pump spacing is 2 × 10^-2 and 200 GHz, respectively.
