All-Optical Format Conversion of NRZ-OOK to RZ-OOK in a Silicon Nanowire Utilizing Either XPM or FWM and Resulting in a Receiver Sensitivity Gain of similar to 2.5 dB

All-optical format conversion of 10 Gb/s non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) to RZ-OOK has been successfully achieved, for the first time to our knowledge, utilizing either cross-phase modulation (XPM) or four-wave mixing (FWM), in a Silicon (Si) nanowire. A 10 - 9 -bit-error-rate (BER) recei...
