Small-signal cross-gain modulation of quantum dot based semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD SOAs), having a dot-in-a-well structure, is presented, demonstrating superiority for ultrahigh bit rate wavelength conversion. Optimization of the QD SOA high speed characteristics via bias current and optical pump power is presented and a small-signal 3 dB bandwidth exceeding 40 GHz is demonstrated. The p-doped samples investigated here enable small-signal wavelength conversion within a range of 30 nm, limited mainly by the gain bandwidth.
