    Abstract

    An unconventional single pump configuration of Wavelength Exchanged Optical Phase Conjugation (WE-OPC) through Difference Frequency Generation (DFG) employing two identical Ti:PPLN waveguides having same grating period and a single pump source is theoretically analyzed and simulated resulting in higher conversion efficiency of OPC.WE-OPC has been found very effective in extenuating nonlinearity and inflating spectral efficiency in optical transmission systems. The proposed WE-OPC enabled WDM optical transmission system modeled as a wavelength converter has been simulated with 10 channels offering much higher conversion efficiencies of about 3.3 dB and 3.49 dB for higher frequency band to lower frequency band and vice versa respectively.
