Abstract
Results on wavelength shifters based on four-wave mixing that operate in the 1.5-mu m regime are reported, These devices utilize the near-ba ndedge resonant enhancement in the third-order nonlinearity in passive InGaAsP-InP quantum-well waveguides. Over the erbium-doped fiber-ampl ifier gain band approximately -20 dB conversion efficiency was obtaine d with approximate to 18-dBm CW pump power. The conversion efficiency was nearly constant for wavelength shifts up to approximate to 26 nm ( 3.3 THz), limited by the phase-matching bandwidth of the 8.5-mm-long d evice.
