High efficiency 160 Gbit/s wavelength conversion and optical phase conjugation using cascaded nonlinearities in periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides is reported. The authors also report on use of this device as a dispersion compensator for transmission of 100 Gbit/s OTDM data through 160 km of singlemode fibre.
