Abstract
We present the first experimental study of spatial four-wave mixing in photonic lattices, demonstrating universal aspects of nonlinear processes in periodic media, such as engineered phase matching, Bloch-wave folding, and continuous control over the band at which the interaction products emerge.Keywords
