160-Gb/s broadband wavelength conversion on chip using dispersion-engineered silicon waveguides

We demonstrate 160-Gb/s wavelength conversion across 21 nm in the C-band using four-wave mixing in dispersion-engineered silicon photonic waveguides. Measurements show a conversion efficiency of -15.5 dB and a pulse broadening factor of 38%.
