Abstract

We propose to use a semiconductor optical amplifier as the nonlinear medium to realize data exchange of two differential quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK) signals based on the nondegenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) process. This scheme exploits the parametric depletion effect of the FWM process, when proper pump power and wavelength result in almost negligible noise of the original signal for the converted signal after data exchange. Optical data exchange of two DQPSK signals at 10 Gbps is achieved with a power penalty of less than 4 dB at the bit-error rate of 10⁻⁹.
