Fibre optical parametric devices for large frequency-shift wavelength conversion

In this thesis, I investigate fibre optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) and oscillators (OPO), in terms of their potential for efficient large frequency-shift wavelength conversion. The underlying physical mechanism of fibre four wave mixing (FWM) offers simultaneous up-conversion and down-conversio...
