Abstract :
Summary form only given. We report experimental results on frequency conversion in germanosilicate fibres under high power pump excitation at 1.5 /spl mu/m in the femtosecond regime. Signals at around 1 /spl mu/m were generated with high powers (>20 mW) and conversion efficiencies (>10%).
