Four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is currently one of the most attractive and promising wavelength conversion techniques for the all-optical future, and offers numerous advantages to the system designer. This paper investigates the performance of a 2.5 Gb/s SOA-based...
