A method of optical communication includes generating an amplified optical signal from at least a portion of a first optical signal having a first carrier wavelength, λ1. The amplified optical signal is applied to Brillouin media to stimulate generation of a Brillouin effect signal at a wavelength λ2. The Brillouin effect signal is modulated to produce a second optical signal having a second carrier wavelength, λ2. In one embodiment, the first optical signal is a downstream optical signal and the second optical signal is an upstream optical signal of a passive optical network.
