Abstract
A wavelength converter that uses four-wave mixing (FWM) in an SOA-integrated distributed-feedback (DFB) laser was demonstrated. Lossless conversion up to 300-GHz detuning and a conversion efficiency of -5 dB at 1-THz detuning was achieved. The device exhibited low ASE (noise) level, and noise figure (NF) characteristics of 24 dB for 16-nm wavelength conversion was observed. This high-efficiency FWM wavelength conversion provided by a single device is promising for optical wavelength shifters in large-scale optical communication systems.
