Abstract
We present a scalable circuit that performs multichannel, all-optical
wavelength conversion employing semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) and
a densely integrated TriPleX photonic chip. The TriPleX device performs chirp
filtering and signal polarity inversion with on-chip signal processing. The
chip includes a total number of 40 arrays of Si$_3$N$_4$–SiO$_2$ microring resonators, delay interferometers
and heating elements. The total footprint of each array is 2.19 mm$^{2}$ and the power
consumption per integrated heater is below 80 mW. We have interconnected the
TriPleX chip with SOAs and we demonstrate experimentally 4$\,\times\,$40 Gb/s, parallel and wavelength
tunable wavelength conversion with power penalties of less than 3 dB.
