We propose to develop a compact, ruggedized tunable wavelength converter for use in avionic WDM networks. An integrated SOA-MZI InP chip will be demonstrated in Phase I of this project. The performance characteristics of this all-optical wavelength converter will be characterized and specifications for the complete polarization insensitive module with built-in test (BIT)will be defined.
