TODO - A wavelength converter based on four-wave mixing in a three-electrode
distributed feedback laser is experimentally investigated. The output
power and the signal to background noise ratio characteristics of the
converted waves were measured for highly nondegenerate conditions, up to
2 THz detuning frequency. The dependence of the converted wave power on
the pump and probe input power has been also investigated. Moreover, a
comparison with a highly performing converter based on four-wave mixing
in a 1.5-mm-long semiconductor optical amplifier has been carried out.
