摘要：The invention relates to a wavelength converter (100) for binary optical signalscomprising an interferometer structure (110) for generating an output signal by

modulating a received local signal (LS) according to the modulation of a further receivedfirst input signal (IS1). When such interferometer structures (110) are operated in astandard mode it is known in the art to provide a control means (130-1) for controllingthe power of the input signal (IS1) such that the extinction ratio of the output signal iskept minimal. The invention provides a modified control means (130-1,130-2) for alsoachieving the minimal extinction ratio when the wavelength converter (100) and inparticular the interferometer structure (110) is operated in a differential mode receivingtwo input signals (IS1,IS2).
