Abstract Summary form only given. Wavelength conversion has been the subject of much research in recent years. Various methods have been studied with use of optical nonlinearities in either semiconductors or fibers. We introduce a novel technique based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in fibers, which has the potential for achieving unit conversion efficiency. It involves only spectrum translation, not inversion or phase conjugation. It is widely tunable and can, in principle, shift wavelengths by tens and even hundreds of nanometers. It can also perform a novel optical function, namely, complete exchange of optical power between two wavelengths.
AbstractList Summary form only given. Wavelength conversion has been the subject of much research in recent years. Various methods have been studied with use of optical nonlinearities in either semiconductors or fibers. We introduce a novel technique based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in fibers, which has the potential for achieving unit conversion efficiency. It involves only spectrum translation, not inversion or phase conjugation. It is widely tunable and can, in principle, shift wavelengths by tens and even hundreds of nanometers. It can also perform a novel optical function, namely, complete exchange of optical power between two wavelengths.
By a suitable choice of the wavelengths of two pumps and one signal about the zero-dispersion wavelength of a fiber, it is possible to generate mainly one four-wave-mixing product (idler) whose spectrum is a translated version of that of the signal; no spectral inversion or phase conjugation is involved. Unit conversion efficiency can in principle be obtained. Complete exchange of power between two wavelengths can be implemented. One can adjust the wavelengths of the signal and the idler at will over tens of nanometers, while maintaining high conversion efficiency, by suitably tuning the pumps. For fixed pump wavelengths, the signal bandwidth scales linearly with pump power and can reach several nanometers for pump powers of the order of several watts in silica fibers or less in highly nonlinear fibers.
