A device for non-linear conversion of first infrared signal into a second infrared signal with a wavelength that is less than that of the first infrared signal by means of four-wave mixing, which includes at least one portion of SiGe arranged on at least one first layer of material with a refractive index which is less than that of silicon, a germanium concentration in the portion of SiGe which varies continuously between a first value and a second value which is greater than the first value, in a direction which is approximately perpendicular to a face of the first layer on which the portion of SiGe is arranged, and in which a summital part of the portion of SiGe where the germanium concentration is equal to the second value is in contact with a gas and/or a material with a refractive index which is less than that of the silicon.
