Abstract :
A transparent continuous wave-pumped highly nonlinear fibre wavelength converter (WC) with a conversion bandwidth of 61 nm and a pump wavelength tuning range of 24 nm, the largest ever reported for fibre-based WCs, is demonstrated. The conversion quality is confirmed by bit error rate measurements showing < 1.4 dB power penalty at 10 Gbit/s data transmission
