Closest thing I can think of is an erbium doped amplifier.  A "pump laser"
at one wavelength excites erbium molecules buried in the glass, and the
erbium emits photons at the signal wavelength to juice it up for a longer
ride down the line.

.....but the changing wavelength isn't the feature, it's the amplifying
that's the feature.

Nothing that I am aware of.   Lots of ways to filter and split, but the only
way I know of to change frequency of light involves relative motion between
the emitter and the receiver.
