In this letter we explore how full frequency conversion can be performed in shorter optical devices by using a STIRAP-like protocol modified by the time rescaling shortcut to adiabaticity. We first show a detailed, step-by-step process of how the coupled equations for two simultaneous three-wave mixing processes can be written in terms of a STIRAP-like system. From the properties of the STIRAP protocol, we know that the ensuing process will result in robust conversion, but require long propagation distances inside the bulk crystal or waveguide. We then apply the time rescaling shortcut to adiabaticty in the conversion process to create a TR-STIRAP protocol, showing that full and robust conversion is also obtained, but at a fraction of the propagation distance. We also show how the original shaping of the coupling coefficients required by the TR-STIRAP can be approximated by Gaussian functions with high conversion fidelity, thus simplifying the experimental implementation. Finally, a possible application of the new protocol is discussed in the context of single-photon detection in the MIR.
