• Abstract : Wavelength conversion enhances transperancy interoperability, and efficient wavelength resource utilization in wavelength-division-multiplexing networks. Several devices are used for wavelength conversion, such as the electroabsorption modulator, semiconductor optical amplifier, periodically poled litium niobate modulator, and highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF). HNLF is promising because it offers high conversion efficiency and phase-preservation between the input and output signals; it also provides immunity from pattern effects. Futhermore, a combination of HNLF and a pump light source enables agile wavelength conversion for photonic packet switch networks
