Abstract
We have experimentally verified a new idea for wavelength conversion within the band based on sum-frequency generation (SFG) in a periodically poled waveguide. The spectrum and the temporal waveform of the output pump reveal that the input cw pump is converted to an optical pulse during SFG. Not only wavelength conversion but also a logic NOT gate at are experimentally observed.
