Abstract
Self-frequency conversion of ultrashort optical pulses into arbitrary multiwavelength components without the use of a pump is achieved by us ing supercontinuum generation. Frequency conversion of a randomly-modu lated 1.535 - 1.560mum, 2.5ps pulse stream at 6.3Gbit/s into 1.44 - 1. 64mum, 0.29 - 1.0ps pulse streams is demonstrated for the first time. The method features ultrawide tunability of over 200nm, and multiwavel ength, pulse-width-tunable output for flexible WDM distribution networ ks.
