摘要
All-optical format conversion from return-to-zero （RZ） to non-return-to-zero （NRZ） is demonstrated with temperaturecontrolled all-fibre delay interferometer （DI） at 20 Gb/s. The operation principle is theoretical analysed with the help of numerical simulation and spectra analysis. Theoretical analysis results are consistent well with the experimental results. The format conversion can be achieved with power penalty of 0.54 dB and with output extinction ratio 20 dB.
