Low Penalty Uniformly Tunable Wavelength Conversion Without Spectral Inversion Over 30 nm Using SBS-Suppressed Low-Dispersion-Slope Highly Nonlinear Fibers

We demonstrate a simple and efficient cascaded operation of parametric wavelength conversion at 43 Gb/s by four-wave mixing for arbitrary input and output wavelengths over 30 nm, using SBS-suppressed low-dispersion-slope highly nonlinear fibers with a power penalty below 0.7 dB.
