Abstract :
Tunable wavelength conversion is described using fiber four-wave mixing. Utilizing two pump lights, a signal light is converted from an arbitrary frequency to another one regardless of the zero-dispersion wavelength of the fiber. Selective conversion is also possible by adjusting one of the pump light frequencies, where one of the multiplexed signals is selectively converted.<>
