Abstract :
We demonstrate experimentally a technique to cancel the spectrum broadening in a fiber optical parametric wavelength converter (WC) by using two pumps phase-modulated 180deg out of phase, one of them being obtained by four-wave mixing in an auxiliary fiber. The resulting WC spectrum is comparable to that of the input signal
