Abstract

A holey fiber (HF) based wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) wavelength converter was demonstrated using XPM and spectral filtering. A combination of just 6m of highly nonlinear HF and an apodized fiber Bragg grating filter with a high extinction ratio spectral splicing capability enabled to achieve simultaneous wavelength conversion. It was concluded that the use of HF with normal dispersion to reduce coherence degradation should allow for the development of practical, all-fiber and high performance WDM wavelength converters.
