Abstract
An integrated configuration is proposed to convert tunable slow light
from signal to another frequency in a wide bandwidth by using a 70 m-long
highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (HN-PCF). A 10 GHz RZ signal is delayed
by a 10 Gbit/s $2 ^{31}
-1$ pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) stimulated Brillouin
scattering (SBS) pump, and the slow light is converted to another frequency
in a broadband by four-wave mixing (FWM). By this way, not only the slow light
is converted, but the idler power is enhanced greatly. In our experiment,
all-optical controlled 37.5 ps delay time is converted in a 40 nm bandwidth
flatly, and 4.7 dB idler power is enhanced simultaneously. The experimental
results are in good agreement with those of the theory.
