Summary form only given. We have demonstrated wavelength conversion over 40 nm with a peak efficiency of 28 dB at 600-mW pump power by employing induced modulation instability in dispersion-shifted fiber with a 5 X enhancement of nonlinearity. The results are consistent with theory and show -20 dB improvement in conversion efficiency of Michelson interferometric based wavelength conversion over semiconductor-based converters.
