Abstract
The emerging use of wavelength routing in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical communication networks brings the need for wavelength conversion. Difference frequency generation (DFG) has a number of advantages over other techniques† that have been proposed, such as strict transparency, and little deterioration of the signal-to-noise ratio.
