Abstract
Dr. K. Inoue calculated the polarization properties of four-wave mixin g in a low-birefringent fiber by treating the fiber as a random concat enation of M pieces of polarization-maintaining fiber. Though the fina l result is very elegant, his derivation is rather lengthy. We present a short derivation of his equation by considering the evolution of po larization in low-birefringent fiber as a diffusion process, and calcu lating the probability density function of the Jones matrix for the fi rst time.
