To get rid of the wavelength change it sounds like you "just" have to produce a new photon with half the wavelength, clone it and then clone one of the clones and measure whether it matches the intercepted one. If it does, forward its clone, otherwise choose another one. I am a little skeptic though, does this really work? I would expect that measuring one clone would affect its twin just as if it was measured directly.
