	Four wave mixing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Four Wave Mixing is an intermodulation distortion in optical systems, similar to the third order intercept in electrical systems.
		Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) is a fiber-optic characteristic that affects Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems, where multiple optical wavelengths are spaced at equal intervals or channel spacing.
		Four Wave Mixing can be compared to the intermodulation distortion in standard electrical systems.

	Optical wavelength conversion using four wave mixing in fiber - US Patent 6330104
		Four wave mixing is produced by operating the optical fiber at a predetermined input power density and by using a fiber length which provides substantial Raman gain.
		Additionally, since four wave mixing is a result of the interaction between the input wavelengths λ1 and λ2 and, as shown in equation (1), it is dependent on the peak power level Pin of these wavelengths.
		Typically in transmission fiber, the four wave mixing that occurs in an optical fiber 102 is very small and considered undesirable and attempts are made to minimize it.

	Patent 4778261: Method and apparatus for non-frequency-shifted, phase conjugation of optical waves by brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing
		The probe wave and the conjugate wave, which is obtained by Brillouin enhanced four wave mixing in the medium, have the same frequency, which differs from the pump wave frequencies by the Brillouin frequency of the four wave mixing medium.
		The probe wave and the resulting conjugate wave may be of the same frequency, differing from the pum wave frequencies by the Brillouin frequency of the four wave mixing medium (the probe wave, E.sub.3, having a frequency (.omega.-.OMEGA.) and the conjugate wave, E.sub.4, having a frequency (.omega.-.OMEGA.).
		An aberrated pump wave may be used in accordance with the invention when a stimulated Brillouin scattering medium having a Brillouin frequency equal to twice the Brillouin frequency of the four wave mixing medium is used to generate the backward going pump wave, E.sub.2.

	Raman Spectroscopy
		Four-wave mixing refers to the general phenomenon by which four photons of light, some of which are incident on an atom, constructively interfere leaving the atom in its original state.
		In this kind of "parametric four-wave mixing," there is no transfer of population to this virtual state, only an induced polarization of the atom and a superposition of waves (Moore 3, 20).
		It is an effect of superpositioning of waves.

		Four wave mixing is one such method of all optical wavelength conversion, made possible by nonlinear effects between two closely spaced wavelengths of laser light.

	Patent 4178079: Sub-picosecond optical gating by degenerate four-wave mixing
		The phasematching condition for the four-wave mixing may be expressed as ##EQU1## The fact that the two pump beams are counterpropagating leads to the conclusion that the backward image beam produced will propagate in exactly the opposite direction as does the probe beam.
		Backward image beam 350 is generated by the degenerate four-wave mixing process in nonlinear medium 313.
		According to the four-wave mixing process, beam 350 contains all the spatial information obtained from target object 307 and thus may be viewed in detector 315 as a reproduced real image of that target with the following proviso:

	Brillouin-Enhanced Four-Wave Mixing and Phase Conjugation
		In the first(optical mixing) process, a strong pump wave mixes with a weak signal wave in a nonlinear medium (such as a plasma) to generate a density modulation or "grating" in the medium.
		Measurements of the conjugate wave power Pc as a function of signal wave power Ps provides further proof that the temporal distortions observed at high power levels arise from the ponderomotive whole-beam self-focusing instability, and not from, say, ion wave saturation which is dependent upon both the pump wave and signal wave power levels.
		The conjugate wave amplitude is seen to drop sharply near the quarter-critical layer, disrupted possibly by the large amplitude ion fluctuations often observed in presence of the 2

		In nonlinear atom optics, four-wave mixing of matter waves and mixing of combinations of light and matter waves have been observed; such progress culminated in the demonstration of phase-coherent matter-wave amplification.
		In general, a "wave" is a time-varying quantity that is also a function of position, a disturbance either continuous or transient, traveling through a medium as a result of certain properties of the medium, the resulting displacements of the medium returning to zero when the disturbance has passed.
		The chief parameters of a wave are its speed of propagation, its frequency, its wavelength, and its amplitude.

	2.4.1 Degenerate four-wave mixing
		Two of the three input waves interfere and form either a spatially or temporally modulated grating; the third input wave is scattered by the grating to yield the output wave.
		A coupled wave analysis of the problem confirms that the signal is proportional to the complex conjugate of the probe field.
		The output of the mixing process can be interpreted in terms of induced gratings and diffraction and there is a close analogy between OPC by DFWM and holography [5 ].

	Copropagating Raman pump unit to suppress four-wave mixing crosstalk between pump modes and WDM signals - US Patent 6646786
		According to one embodiment of the present invention, four-wave mixing crosstalk effects caused by the copropagating pump energy are reduced by imposing a wavelength-dependent phase shift, e.g., chromatic dispersion, on the pump signals.
		In one implementation, the advantageous suppression of four-wave mixing crosstalk between pump signals and WDM channels is accomplished by imposing chromatic dispersion on the co-propagating pump sources.
		It can be seen that there are 9 four-wave mixing product components, of which two are adjacent to the highest wavelength signal.

	Experimental scheme of Four-wave mixing itself has no much difference than Pump-probe setup as four-wave mixing experiment also
		The origin of name, four-wave mixing, is from existence of four output beams, those are transmitted pump, probe and two individual four wave mixing signal propagating in symmetric directions.
		Four-wave mixing provides coherence characteristics of carriers and this is widely researched to further application other than spectroscopy.
		There are rigorous theoretical explanation for four-wave mixing using non-linear terms of interaction between electric field and quantum states.

		Four-wave mixing is a common process in nonlinear optics wherein the nonlinear interaction between light and matter allows three light waves to interact or "mix" and produce a fourth wave with a different central wavevector (and/or frequency).
		We show that the three or four spin state case is phenomenologically different from the one or two spin state case and in particular, the nonlinear coupling strength of the former depends on differences in scattering lengths greatly reducing the population of the fourth wave.
		In these first experiments, the internal hyperfine spin states of the four BEC wavepackets were identical.

	Results and discussion
		This phenomenon produces a transient four-wave mixing signal, which is shifted in frequency from that of the test beam by the normal mode oscillation frequency.
		Thus, we discovered four-wave mixing signal at shifted frequency due to scattering on the polariton moving grating and developed theory, describing observed phenomena.
		This results in transient four-wave mixing signal on the upper and lower polariton as shown in the spectrum in Fig. 1(a).

		Four-wave mixing in fibers is strongly related to self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation: all these effects originate from the same (Kerr) nonlinearity and differ only in terms of degeneracy of the involved waves.
		Four-wave mixing is a nonlinear effect arising from a third-order optical nonlinearity, as is described with a χ
		As four-wave mixing is a phase-sensitive process (i.e., the interaction depends on the relative phases of all involved beams), its effect can efficiently accumulate over longer distances e.g.

	Atomic velocity effects on degenerate four-wave mixing in an optically-pumped two-level atomic sodium beam
		We are investigating the effect of the atomic velocity on the spectrum of the four-wave mixing signal, as determined by varying the crossing angle between the atomic beam and the laser beams.
		The simulated and measured four-wave mixing spectra display very strong variation as we vary this crossing angle, not as a spectral shift, but rather through the lineshape.
		We present computer simulations and experimental measurements of the degenerate phase-conjugate four-wave mixing signal generated by an optically-pumped two-level atomic sodium beam interacting with a narrow-band cw laser field.
