摘要：

Four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers is used to produce wavelength conversion. We report an extended study on the dependence of efficiency and noise on device length, pump power, operation wavelength and conversion interval. The use of longer active regions is a good was to obtain performance as good as requested bg the most advanced telecommunication systems.
