Four-Wave Mixing in nonlinear fiber with two intra-cavity frequency-shifted laser pumps

We experimentally study Bragg-type four-wave mixing frequency conversion in highly nonlinear fibers by using two independent frequency-shifted-feedback lasers. We obtain frequency conversion with partial coherent pumps when both lasers operate in the continuous-wave regime. Our experimental results...

Summary:We experimentally study Bragg-type four-wave mixing frequency conversion in highly nonlinear fibers by using two independent frequency-shifted-feedback lasers. We obtain frequency conversion with partial coherent pumps when both lasers operate in the continuous-wave regime. Our experimental results compare well with numerical simulations, which take into account partial coherence of the two pumps.
