Abstract
        In  this  work, cross  absorption  modulation  (XAM)  or  high-speed  optical  transmission  in  electroabsorption modulator  (EAM) 
has been utilized to investigate all-optical multi-wavelength converter. 40-Gbps data signal with NRZ format is considered to 
analyze the impact of various input parameters of EAM. The input power (launched power) of the signal and bias voltage on 
multi-wavelength  conversion  is  validated  in  optical  signal-to-noise  ratio  (OSNR),  Q  factor,  and  received  power.  The  main 
highlight  of  this  investigation  is  to  find  the  optimal  operating  parameters  of  EAM  for  designing  the  perfect  wavelength 
converter. The range of input power of the signal tuned from 15 to 21 dBm and a bias voltage of EAM tuned from 0 to -3 V 
are  utilized  to  investigate  the  Q  factor  and  converted  signal  power  of  multi-wavelength  converter  and  found  the  best 
possible bias voltage is -2.0 V and input signal power at 15 dBm. The optimal converted signal quality is obtained at 1548 
nm and 1550 nm with reverse bias voltage at 1.5 V and 2 V.
