Holey Fiber Based Tuneable WDM Wavelength Converter Using Cross-Phase Modulation and Filtering

We demonstrate a tuneable WDM wavelength converter based on XPM and optical filtering in just 6 m of highly nonlinear holey fiber. Broadband 10 Gbit/s wavelength conversion (~20 nm) with a constant converted pulsewidth was readily achieved due to the reduced walk-off effects
