ABSTRACT:
A carrier frequency converter for converting a first information carrier frequency of a first carrier to a second information carrier frequency of a second carrier. The converter includes an input control optics assembly for receiving a first carrier and adjusting the first carrier in accordance with first desired frequency, polarization and beam propagation parameters. A non-linear optical medium provides optical rectification of an output of the input control optics assembly. An output control optics assembly receives an output of the non-linear optical medium and adjusts the output in accordance with second desired frequency, polarization and beam propagation parameters. The output of the output control optics is a second carrier having an information bandwidth equivalent to the information bandwidth of the first carrier.
