Highly efficient arbitrary wavelength conversion within entire C-band based on nondegenerate fiber four-wave mixing
TLDR
In this paper, the authors applied simultaneous phase modulation to the two pump waves so that stimulated Brillouin scattering is suppressed without affecting the generated idler wave, and the signal light was converted from an arbitrary wavelength to another arbitrary one within the entire C-band.Abstract:
Highly efficient tunable wavelength conversion based on nondegenerate fiber four-wave mixing is demonstrated. We apply simultaneous phase modulation to the two pump waves so that stimulated Brillouin scattering is suppressed without affecting the generated idler wave. The signal light is converted from an arbitrary wavelength to another arbitrary one within the entire C-band with a conversion efficiency higher than -10 dB.read more

Quantum noise properties of parametric amplifiers driven by two pump waves.
TL;DR: If the pump frequencies are tuned to maximize the frequency bandwidth of the FS interaction, the signal and idler noise-figures are only slightly higher than the noise figures associated with the limiting TS interactions, and the results are applied to the study of two-pump PAs.
