Abstract

The feasibility of distant wavelength conversion in photonic crystal fiber was explored. The one-pump parametric architecture was used to demonstrate translation from the conventional (1550 nm) to visible (500 nm) band. Experimental results are reported, which demonstrate the conventional-to-visible conversion of single- and multiple-channel signals encoded in the nonreturn-to-zero format
