Abstract
A wavelength converter that converts signal light and pump light into a light containing a new wavelength component using a nonlinear optical fiber, has a PBS for splitting incident light into a first polarized wave and a second polarized wave, a first polarization controller provided between the PBS and a first end of the nonlinear optical fiber, and a second polarization controller provided between the PBS and a second end of the nonlinear optical fiber, wherein in an optical loop connecting the PBS, the first polarization controller, the nonlinear optical fiber and the second polarization controller, the first polarized wave and a first component of the pump light travel through the nonlinear optical fiber in a first direction, and the second polarized wave and a second component of the pump light travel through the nonlinear optical fiber in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
