Abstract :
Dispersion shifted fiber with a high nonlinearity coefficient (20.4 W-1 km-1) and low attenuation (0.51 dB/km) was successfully fabricated. 500 m of the fabricated fiber efficiently generated four-wave mixing, and nearly constant wavelength conversion efficiency over 20 nm was demonstrated
