Abstract:
A wavelength conversion apparatus includes a multiplexer-demultiplexer configured to include a first port, a second port, and a third port, a looped non-linear optical medium including one end that is optically connected to the second port of the multiplexer-demultiplexer, another end that is optically connected to the third port of the multiplexer-demultiplexer, and a main axis that rotates by 90 degrees between the second port and the third port, a first filter configured to be inserted into the non-linear optical medium, and remove stimulated Brillouin backscattered light that is bidirectionally generated in the non-linear optical medium, and a second filter configured to take out, from output light that is multiplexed in the multiplexer-demultiplexer after propagating through the non-linear optical medium and is outputted from the first port, conversion light having a third frequency different from the frequencies of a signal light and an excitation light.
