摘要
We propose a systematic approach to evaluating and optimising the wavelength conversion bandwidth and gain ripple of four-wave mixing based fiber optical wavelength converters. Truly tunable wavelength conversion in these devices requires a highly tunable pump. For a given fiber dispersion slope, we find an optimum dispersion curvature that maximises the wavelength conversion bandwidth. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.
