Abstract

Four-wave mixing (FWM) in semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLA) is of interest for both theoretical and experimental investigations. Considerable progress has been made towards a better understanding of the basic physical phenomena,^1-3 as well as towards applications for fast optical signal processing.^4-5 Conventional FWM experiments use a pump wave E₁ (frequency ω₁) and a signal wave E_A (ω_A) copropagating with the pump. To efficiently create mixing products, both waves are required to have the same polarization, which is a major drawback for the application of FWM in optical communication networks.
