| Abstract: | This work describes the factors that influence the digital system performance of a monolithically integrated photocurrent driven wavelength converter. For an optimized input power to the receiver section of the device, experiments show <1-dB power penalty for conversion between 1548 and 1563 nm at 10 Gb/s. Under optimized conditions, performance is limited by the output extinction ratio of the converted signals |
