Abstract
We investigate two schemes for wavelength conversion based on the casc ading of two successive second order processes in a quasi-phase-matche d lithium niobate channel waveguide. Efficient conversion over the ful l erbium amplifier bandwidth is possible with a single multi-hundred m illiwatt pump laser operating around 1.55 mu m. (C) 1997 American Inst itute of Physics.
