Experimental investigation into conversion efficiency of cascading four-wave mixing

We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a scheme for cascading four-wave mixing (CFWM) by exploiting nonlinearity in highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF). Through utilizing optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), the second-order sideband products are observed in our experiment by only launching two waves into HNLF, and the conversion efficiency from the injected wave to each sideband is discussed in detail. It is found that only the conversion efficiency of the satellite wave will be increased with the power of the tunable injected wave when the power and the wavelength of the other one are fixed. Furthermore, the conversion efficiency of all the sidebands will be decreased with the absolute value of detune of injected wavelengths increasing. Also, the authors have demonstrated that the power of the satellite wave will be influenced most among all the sidebands if tuning the injected wave power. The proposed scheme can find potential applications in parametric amplification, frequency conversion, and optical quantum-information processing.

Performance Analysis of Multi-Fiber WDM Network with Limited-Range Wavelength Conversion

Wavelength routed optical networks have emerged as a technology that can effectively utilize the enormous bandwidth of the optical fiber. Wavelength conversion technology and wavelength converters play an important role in enhancing fiber utilization and in reducing the overall call blocking probability of the network. In this paper, we develop a new analytical model to calculate the average blocking probability in multi-fiber link networks using limited range wavelength conversion. Based on the results obtained, we conclude that the proposed analytical model is simple and yet can effectively analyze the impact of wavelength conversion ranges and number of fibers on network performance. Also a new heuristic approach for placement of wavelength converters to reduce blocking probabilities is explored. Finally, we analyze network performance with the proposed scheme. It can be observed from numerical simulations that limited range converters placed at a few nodes can provide almost the same blocking probability as full range wavelength converters placed at all the nodes. We also show that being equipped with a multi-fiber per-link has the same effect as being equipped with the capability of limited range wavelength conversion. So a multi-fiber per-link network using limited range wavelength conversion has similar blocking performance as a full wavelength convertible network. Since a multi-fiber network using limited range wavelength conversion could use fewer converters than a single-fiber network using limited range wavelength conversion and because wavelength converters are today more expensive than fiber equipment, a multi-fiber network in condition with limited range wavelength conversion is less costly than a single fiber network using only limited range wavelength conversion. Thus, multi-fiber per-link network using limited range wavelength conversion is currently a more practical method for all optical WDM networks. Simulation studies carried out on a 14-node NSFNET, a 10-node CERNET (China Education and Research Network), and a 9-node regular mesh network validate the analysis.
