摘要
We propose a method to obtain spectral inversion of a signal without shifting its frequency, We use four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with two pumps of orthogonal polarization, A conjugate field is generated with a polarization orthogonal to that of the incoming signal and is selected at the amplifier output by a polarizer, Using a commercially available pig-tailed SOA of 1.5-mm length, we obtain after the polarizer 21.5 dB of intensity ratio between conjugate and amplified incoming signal.
