Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally a simultaneous threefold modal and wavelength conversion process of a 10-Gbit/s On/Off keying signal in a 1.8-km long graded-index 6-LP-mode fiber. The principle of operation is based on a phase-matched inter-modal four-wave mixing phenomenon occurring between the fundamental mode and 3 higher-order modes of the fiber. The converted signals show well-opened eye-diagrams and error-free processing.
