Abstract
Conventionally, optical frequency shifters (OFSs) based on four-wave mixing rely on the gain of traveling-wave amplifiers (TWAs).1 The disadvantage of this scheme is that the absorption of the waves is high when the resonant third-order nonlinearities are used. In addition, even in the presence of the TWA, the conversion efficiency is low.
