100-GHz grid-aligned multi-channel polarization insensitive black-box wavelength converter

A new scheme for a flexible modulation and bit rate independent, polarization-insensitive optical wavelength converter (WC) based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) is demonstrated and characterized for different modulation formats and data rates. Its robustness is demonstr...
