With pulsed pumping, wavelength conversion between picosecond pulses is demonstrated based on cascaded 2 nd ‐order nonlinear processes in periodically poled LiNbO 3 waveguides. Optical pulses with the repetition rate of 40 GHz and temporal width of 7.5 ps are converted from pump to idler wavelength. The experimental results imply that tunable‐wavelength conversion and converted‐pulse reshaping can be simultaneously achieved through the proposed approach. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
