TL;DR: In this article, the authors achieved penalty free wavelength conversion at 622 Mbit/s and almost penalty free conversion at 2.5 Gbps using cross-gain modulation in semiconductor laser amplifiers with no output filter.
Abstract: Penalty-free wavelength conversion at 622 Mbit/s and almost penalty-free conversion at 2.5 Gbit/s with very low residual input power levels have been achieved using cross-gain modulation in semiconductor laser amplifiers with no output filter. Theoretical simulations predict its concatenation performance.

TL;DR: The main aim of this paper is to oversee the prospect of an European ultra-high capacity multiwavelength optical infrastructure and oversee the design of an all-optical network to overlay the European national networks and link major centers therein.
Abstract: A number of research issues are considered in the study of an European multiwavelength optical network. The main part of the study is the design of an all-optical network to overlay the European national networks and link major centers therein. We survey most of the issues considered in this respect within the frame of two projects funded by the European Commission. Another part of the study focuses on the underlying European national networks and their possible development to interface with the proposed overlay. The main aim of this paper is to put together these two parts and oversee the prospect of an European ultra-high capacity multiwavelength optical infrastructure.
