In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a cost-effective wavelength converter utilising a highly nonlinear fibre (HNLF) and a tunable dual-wavelength fibre laser as the pump source. The proposed system uses only the pump source and a signal probe to generate a partially degenerate four-wave mixing...
