We demonstrate numerically that the wavelength conversion of light is possible by the simple dynamic refractive index tuning of an optical cavity in a photonic crystal. We also clarify the mechanism and conservation rule for this conversion process. In addition, we discuss the observability of this phenomenon in realistic cavities. Our results indicate that this linear adiabatic wavelength conversion process can be observed for various high-Q microcavities.
