Simulation and Performance Analysis of FWM Wavelength Converter
Abstract: Optical Wavelength Conversion is a necessary function for Optical-Time-Division Multiplexing/ Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing (OTDM/WDM) networks. These Wavelength Converters can be realized by using fibre non-linearities, Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) non-linearities etc. A FWM (Four Wave Mixing) Wavelength Converter using different types of fibers is analyzed here. The power of the converted signals for different fiber lengths and relation between pump and probe power are evaluated. The Wavelength Converter is simulated using a commercial optical system simulator named OptiSystem 12.0 by Optiwave.
