S + C + L Band tunable wavelength conversion using FWM dual‐wavelength fiber laser in a highly nonlinear fiber

In this article, a novel wideband wavelength conversion is demonstrated using a highly nonlinear fiber consisting of a fluorinedoped fiber that has a high delta core and surrounded by a deeply depressed ring as opposed to the use of photonic crystal fibers. The wavelength conversion range is from...

Description
Summary:In this article, a novel wideband wavelength conversion is demonstrated using a highly nonlinear fiber consisting of a fluorinedoped fiber that has a high delta core and surrounded by a deeply depressed ring as opposed to the use of photonic crystal fibers. The wavelength conversion range is from 1460 to 1640 nm, which covers the S-, C- and L-bands of the optical network. The interacting waves consist of an arrayed waveguide grating tuned dual-wavelength fiber laser output together with a tunable laser source signal. A four-wave-mixing conversion of efficiency of 20 dB is achieved within a 70 nm tuning range within a 3.9 dB fluctuation. An optical signal to noise ratio of 30 dB is also realized within the same tuning range. VC 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
