Abstract

This work reports the experimental observation of a new type of four-wave mixing in which frequency-degenerate weak signal and idler waves are generated by mixing two pump waves of different frequencies in a normally dispersive birefringent optical fiber. This parametric frequency fusion is what we believed the first experimental evidence of inverse four-wave mixing.
