Abstract(in English) We propose a novel method to realize wavelength conversion with complete transparency, high conversion efficiency, wide conversion range, and high suppression ratio of pumping lights. The proposed technique is the use of replicas generated by dual pump nearly-degenerated FWM in a Mach-Zehnder interferometric SOA, which can suppress the output of the pumps crosstalking with the neighboring signal and converted light in the nearly-degenerated case. We have demonstrated wavelength conversion to a replica of a 10-Gb/s signal. High pumping light suppression ratio of 28 dB and high conversion efficiency of -6.0 dB are achieved in 16-nm conversion by this scheme. An eye-pattern of the replica shows clear opening.
