Abstract
Four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers is used to produc e wavelength conversion. We report an extended study on the dependence of efficiency and noise on device length, pump power, operation wavel ength and conversion interval. The use of longer active regions is a g ood was to obtain performance as good as requested bg the most advance d telecommunication systems.
