Wavelength conversion device using nonlinear medium having quantum dots

摘要

A wavelength conversion device including a nonlinear medium having quantum dots uses a tunable laser as an excitation light source of optical four wave mixing, and performs wavelength conversion for a wide bandwidth signal light with optical four wave mixing by employing a control apparatus for controlling an optical system including an optical path of a signal light and an optical system including an optical path of an excitation light in correspondence with a wavelength of a signal light that is to be wavelength converted.
