A NRZ wavelength converter based on a nonlinear polarization switch cascading a reshaping delayed interferometer

A nonlinear polarization switch cascading a delayed interferometer is proposed and demonstrated as an all-optical wavelength converter (WC) for NRZ systems. The converted signal has a negative power penalty after 25 km transmission.
