In this paper, highly nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) resulting from external dual-mode injection (pump-probe structure) in the single-mode Fabry-Pérot laser diode (SMFP-LD) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. To cause the effective NDFWM process, both pump and probe beams with enou...
