Abstract
The effect of random fluctuations in the zero-dispersion wavelength is considered for fiber four-wave mixing. Theoretical expressions for av erage parametric gain, phase-conjugation conversion efficiency, and ga in bandwidth are obtained and found to be in good agreement with exper iments. Possible limitations on the noise figure in phase-sensitive am plifiers based on fiber four-wave mixing are also discussed.
