RZ wavelength conversion with reduced power penalty using a semiconductor-optical-amplifier/fiber-grating hybrid device

We show that a fiber Bragg grating filter improves the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a semiconductor-optical-amplifier for return-to-zero (RZ) wavelength conversion. A 14-dB reduction in power penalty was obtained at 10.6 Gb/s.
