Abstract A novel ultrafast tunable all-optical wavelength conversion for polarization-shift-
keying (PolSK) signal based on dual-pump four-wave mixing (FWM), including parallel
dual-pump FWM and orthogonal dual-pump FWM, in a single semiconductor optical ampli-
fier (SOA) is proposed. A comprehensive broad-band dynamic model of the all-optical wave-
length converter based on parallel dual-pump FWM and orthogonal dual-pump FWM in SOA
is developed, for the first time to our knowledge. By numerical simulation, the proposed all-
optical wavelength conversion is realized at 40 Gbit/s. The effects of the powers of input
waves and wavelength detuning on the conversion efficiency of the wavelength converter are
theoretically investigated in detail. The results indicate that, due to using the PolSK mod-
ulation format, this scheme is free of pattern effect. In addition, a wide tuning range can
be obtained. The proposed all-optical wavelength conversion for PolSK signal is robust and
potential for applications in future optical networks in terms of simple implementation and
high speed operation.

1 Introduction
In recent years, various advanced modulation formats have been developed to cope with the
demerits of amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) formats, such as the chromatic dispersion, nonlin-
ear effects, and noise in high-speed long-haul optical communication systems. Polarization-
shift-keying (PolSK) formats, which use the state of polarization of a fully polarized lightwave
carrier as the information-bearing parameter, have been extensively investigated due to their
unique virtues (Ciaramella et al. 2008; D’Errico et al. 2006; Matalgah and Radaydeh 2005;

Benedetto et al. 1995). Extinction ratio and signal to noise ratio using PolSK formats are
superior to using intensity formats. PolSK formats are less sensitive to phase noise of the
transmitting lasers in comparison with other coherent transmission schemes. So PolSK may
become one of the novel chosen formats for future long-haul communications.
All-optical wavelength conversion is a promising technique to avoid blocking in future
wavelength-routed all-optical networks. There have been a variety of wavelength conversion
techniques using many approaches based on nonlinear effects, including cross-gain modula-
tion (XGM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), four-wave mixing (FWM), in semiconductor
optical amplifier (SOA) or nonlinear fibers (Wang et al. 2005; Fok and Shu 2007; Dong et
al. 2008; Pei-li and Wei-hua 2011; Han et al. 2007). However, most wavelength conversion
techniques are mainly focused on ASK formats and phase-shift-keying (PSK) formats. Up
to now, only a few wavelength conversion schemes for PolSK format have been proposed
(Pei-li and Wei-hua 2011; Han et al. 2007). So it is highly desirable to explore the wavelength
conversion for PolSK formats.
It is difficult to preserve the original polarization information of an input signal by using
the wavelength conversion schemes based on XGM and XPM. FWM effect has the polariza-
tion property, as well as the merits of transparency to data rate and format. Therefore, it would
be the most promising candidates for wavelength conversion of PolSK formats. Conventional
single-pump FWM in SOA has two major drawbacks: the conversion efficiency decreases
rapidly when wavelength detuning is increased (Agrawal 1988), and there is a strong depen-
dence of the conversion efficiency on input signal polarization. These drawbacks impose
significant constraints on the practical utilization of the FWM technique. Dual-pump FWM
technique can overcome the problem of the dependence of conversion efficiency on wave-
length detuning and wide range polarization -insensitive wavelength conversion has been
achieved (Wong and Tsang 2003; Hsu et al. 2004; Chow et al. 2004; Hong et al. 2004; Hsieh
et al. 2004; Wu et al. 2009).
In this paper, we propose a novel ultrafast tunable all-optical wavelength conversion for
PolSK signal based on dual-pump FWM, including parallel dual-pump FWM and orthogonal
dual-pump FWM, in single SOA. Due to the constant intensity nature of the PolSK signal,
pattern-dependent degradation can be reduced in this SOA-based device. Furthermore, this
scheme can obtain a wide tuning range and provide ultrafast operation in virtue of using the
dual-pump FWM effect. The proposed all-optical wavelength conversion only uses a single
SOA, so it is simple and compact.
Although some experimental investigations of wavelength conversion based on dual-
pump FWM have been reported, a few theoretical studies have been carried out. The most
common and simple solution for dual-pump FWM in SOA is “lumped” model which has
adopted some assumptions and approximations, such as FWM effect in SOA is regarded
as a lumped saturated gain followed by third-order nonlinearity and amplified spontaneous
emission (ASE) noise, and gain spectrum and ASE spectrum are assumed flat respectively
(Chow et al. 2004; Hong et al. 2004). So it can’t be used to analyze the optical fields and the
carriers in SOA versus time and space. In Ref. Hsieh et al. (2004), a time-domain simulation
model is present to investigate the wavelength conversion based on orthogonal dual-pump
FWM in SOA. In this model, a converted wave is ignored; this is a good approximation for
low input signal power levels. However, it is insufficient when the input signal is strong. In
Ref. Wu et al. (2009), a dynamic model for non-degenerate FWM in SOA is presented to
investigate the multifunction optical format conversion module. In this model, all input waves
are supposed to be co-polarized. Up to now, a comprehensive broad-band dynamic model
of dual-pump FWM in SOA, including parallel dual-pump FWM and orthogonal dual-pump
FWM, has not be present. In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, a comprehensive

broad-band dynamic model of the tunable wavelength converter based on dual-pump FWM
in SOA is developed. Using this model, dual-pump FWM scheme in SOA, including parallel
dual-pump FWM and orthogonal dual-pump FWM, can be investigated more accurately.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 illustrates the operation principle
of the proposed all-optical wavelength conversion for PolSK signal. In Sect. 3, a compre-
hensive broadband model is presented in detail. In Sect. 4, the wavelength conversion for
PolSK signal is theoretically realized at 40 Gbit/s using our broadband model. In addition, the
effects of the powers of input waves and wavelength detuning on the conversion efficiency
of wavelength conversion for PolSK signal are theoretically investigated in detail. Finally,
the main conclusions are summarized in Sect. 5.
2 Operation principle
Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of the proposed ultrafast all-optical wavelength con-
version for PolSK signal. A PolSK signal (S) at ω
s
andtwopumpwaves(P1andP2)atω
p1
and ω
p2
are combined and injected into the SOA. Polarization control (PC) 1 and PC2 are
used to align the polarizations of two input pump waves. By adjusting PC3, the polarization
angles between pump wave and two components of input PolSK signal are set to 45
◦
, respec-
tively. To simplify, we assume two polarization components of the input PolSK signal are
aligned with the principal axes of the SOA and correspond with TE mode and TM mode (S
TE
and S
TM
) respectively. Accordingly, in the SOA, P1 and P2 are split into two components
(P1
TE
and P1
TM
;P2
TE
and P2
TM
) respectively. In this scheme, provided that the wavelength
interval between P1 and P2 is small, whereas the pumps and PolSK signal are at wavelengths
far enough to neglect their interaction. In this case, two parallel dual-pump FWM processes
(due to interaction among S

and P2

, and interaction among S

and P2

)
and two orthogonal dual-pump FWM processes (due to interaction among S

and
P2

, and interaction among S

,P1
TE
and P2
TE
) can occur in the SOA, as well as FWM
process (due to interaction between P1 and P2). And a number of FWM products (C1, C2,
C3 and C4 at 2ω

respectively),
which have two components corresponding with TE mode and TM mode, are generated.
Among these FWM products, the polarizations of C3 and C4 are in parallel with those of
S. Therefore, the ultrahigh-speed all-optical wavelength conversion for PolSK signal can be
realized by filtering the conjugate wave C3. Figure 2 presents the polarizations of the waves
and the optical spectra of the all-optical wavelength conversion for PolSK signal based on
the dual-pump FWM.
To prove the effectiveness of the all-optical wavelength conversion for PolSK signal, a
polarization beam splitter (PBS) is used as the data decoder of PolSK format, as shown in
Fig. 1. After the PBS, two polarization components of PolSK signal are detected by the
communication signal analyzer.
3 Broad-band model
In this section, a comprehensive broad-band dynamic model of the all-optical tunable wave-
length converter for PolSK signal based on dual-pump FWM in SOA is developed. As men-
tioned above, in this scheme, parallel dual-pump FWM and orthogonal dual-pump FWM both
occur in the SOA. So fourteen waves, including three input waves and four generated waves
with two polarization components respectively, are taken into account. In this model, critical
