Abstract
A new phase-matching factor is derived for four- wave mixing (FWM) that includes the effects of self-phase and cross-phase modulation in optical fibers. Theoretical results pre- dict that the wavelength of peak FWM efficiency shifts away from the fiber zero-dispersion wavelength and indicate that the conventional phase-matching factor may induce significant errors in FWM calculations. Experiments are presented to verify the new phase-matching factor and the related theoretical results. The measured results agree well with those predicted by the new phase-matching factor.Keywords
