Abstract
The feasibility of a group-velocity matched-fiber Raman wavelength converter using extended birefringent fiber has been demonstrated, in which high-power pumping laser diodes are used to achieve sufficient four-wave mixing (FWM) Raman conversion. Based on our proposed novel model, the power intensity and temporal properties of the converted wave (10 Gb/s and 20 Gb/s, from C-band to L-band) have been demonstrated. The ultra-wide Raman gain spectrum and the tunability of the fiber birefringence make our model extremely suitable for broadband wavelength-convertible lightwave communication.
