Abstract
Four-wave mixing (FWM) in a fiber-Bragg-grating (PBG) coupled semicond uctor laser is investigated. We show that a large resonance enhancemen t of the FWM conversion efficiency can be obtained when the laser cavi ty is injection-locked by the converted signal, and apply this techniq ue to the wavelength conversion of 1-Gb/s modulated signals, Furthermo re, we discuss how the spectral width of these resonances can be incre ased to make this approach suitable to higher bit rates.
