We demonstrate experimentally an all-fiber optical parametric amplifier and wavelength converter at 1μm using a microstructured fiber and an electro-optical intensity modulator. A gain of 40 dB is obtained for a signal at 1053 nm. The experimental gain bandwidth agrees well with the theoretical one including Raman gain.
