摘要：
We have investigated a new technique for the enhancement of a wavelength conversion system based on nearly degenerate four wave mixing in a semiconductor laser amplifier, We report enhanced wavelength conversion over 20 mn from 1.55 mu m to 1.53 mu m using feedforward photomixing from two independent source lasers to directly modulate the semiconductor laser amplifier. We find that the wavelength conversion efficiency is enhanced by 200% using this technique.
