Popis: Wavelength division multiplexing-based networks suffer from blocking probability due to wavelength contention resolution. Such a problem can even be worth when the advanced coherently modulation formats such as M-array quadrature amplitude modulation is used to increase the channel capacity beyond 100 Gbit/s. This paper presents theoretical study of cascaded sum frequency generation and difference frequency generation based tunable wavelength conversion in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide as a trivial solution to the wavelength blocking problem when advanced signal modulation formats are considered. It is shown numerically that wavelength conversion of single channel up to 1 Tbit/s would be possible with a 3 cm long wavelength converter.
