    Abstract

    We fully demonstrate the special requirements of a mid-infrared all-optical wavelength converter. The construction mechanism of a 2.05 µm all-optical wavelength converter based on the single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is proposed. Systematic experiments are carried out, and the converter device is successfully developed. With the assistance of SWCNT-coated microfiber, the conversion efficiency up to -45.57 dB is realized, and the tuning range can reach 9.72 nm. The experimental results verify the correctness of the proposed mechanism and the feasibility of the converter device so that it can be a new technical approach for all-optical wavelength conversion beyond 2 µm. We believe the research can extend the application of this composite waveguide in the field of all-optical communication.
