An optical format conversion from nonreturn‐to‐zero (NRZ) to quasicontinuous phase modulation (Qu‐CPM) using two Mach–Zehnder interferometer‐semiconductor optical amplifiers in serial is presented, and its feasibility is demonstrated in a 2 × 10 Gb/s NRZ‐OOK to one 10 Gbaud Qu‐CPM conversion experiment.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
