Abstract

Using InP-based microdisk lasers heterogeneously integrated onto silicon passive waveguide circuits, we demonstrate all-optical wavelength conversion of 10Gbps NRZ PRBS signals without requiring any bias or extra seeding beam. The experimental results also indicate that bitrates of 20 or 25Gbps should be achievable.
