Abstract
All optical frequency converters are key devices for new-conception optical networks. A theoretical model is presented to evaluate performances of frequencies converters based on highly nondegenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor amplifiers. Conversion efficiency and noise performances are evaluated in generic saturation conditions and compared with experimental results.Keywords
