Abstract A novel scheme for wavelength conversion based on cross-gain modulation (XGM) in single-port-coupled semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), in which the input and output share one port, is brought forward. Experimental results and theoretical analysis show that this scheme can be achieved with simple implementation, high output extinction ratio and large input dynamic range. Based on this novel scheme, 2.5 Gbit/s wavelength up conversion with 12.8 nm span has been demonstrated with the output extinction ratio as high as 15 dB.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
