Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a simple scheme of a highly efficient polarization-independent wavelength converter utilizing the two-pump fiber optical parametric amplification. First, binary phase-shift-keying modulation is applied to two pump waves, which allows us to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering without broadening the idler spectrum. Then, polarization states of the two pumps are aligned orthogonally to realize the wavelength conversion which is insensitive to the signal polarization. Using this method, we achieve polarization-independent wavelength conversion with an efficiency larger than 0 dB over a 30-nm signal bandwidth.
