In this paper, the wavelength conversion in optofluidic infiltrated photonic crystal fibers is investigated for achieving the suitable wavelength range in the telecommunication region. For this purpose, a photonic crystal fiber with appropriate dispersion properties is selected and wavelength conversion via four-wave mixing process for a given pump laser is studied. By changing the refractive index of the optofluidic and then varying the fiber dispersion properties, the converted wavelength region can be tuned. The results show that for the ideal case, the PCF injected with a refractive index of 1.32 in normal dispersion regime exhibits the maximum wavelength shift where this shift increases with increasing the input pump power. This amount is much higher than that of in the anomalous dispersion regime.
