  • Abstract
    We present an FWM based wavelength conversion that differs from the typical approach in requiring no additional pump sources; two PSK signals are mixed in an HNLF, effectively pumping each other to facilitate wavelength conversion. The approach enables us to demonstrate band conversion as well as conversion of PSK signals of differing order.
