Optical frequency shift device and method
An optical-frequency shift device to shift a first optical-signal of a first optical-frequency to a second optical-signal of a second optical-frequency, including a splitter to split the first optical-signal to optical-signals of first and second polarizations, orthogonal each other, a generator to generate first and fourth controlled-light of the first polarization, and second and third controlled-light of the second polarization, each of frequency differences between the first and second controlled-light and between the third and fourth controlled-light having a spacing equal to a difference between the first and second optical-frequencies, a nonlinear optical-medium in which idler light of the second and first polarization are created by causing cross phase modulation of the optical-signals of the first and second polarizations, the first and third controlled-light, and the second and fourth controlled-light, respectively, and an optical-combiner to combine the idler light of the second and first polarization.
