Abstract

A multi-channel wavelength conversion system operating at frequencies of 192.8 THz and 192.34 THz with a data rate of 120 Gbps is proposed using an electro-absorption modulator (EAM). The system achieves high-quality wavelength conversion with quality factors of 20.25 dB and 21.30 dB, respectively. A mathematical framework is developed to determine the sinusoidal signal generator frequency and maximum data signal bandwidth, ensuring minimal interference between wavelength-converted signals. The study demonstrates the potential of EAM for efficient, low-power, polarization-independent wavelength conversion in optical communication systems.
