We report a new all‐optical wavelength conversion scheme based on a self‐seeded Fabry–Perot laser diode with a chirped fiber grating as the external cavity. This converter can convert the wavelength of input optical signals into 14 discrete wavelengths with external RF modulation. We successfully demonstrate all‐optical wavelength conversion at 10 Mbps. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
