Abstract :
Third harmonic (TH) generation by four-wave mixing is investigated in a novel design optical fiber. Numerical modeling predicts that TH conversion efficiency of ≫ 50% is achievable in the proposed fiber design. Experimentally demonstrated TH conversion efficiency is 2.5%. The main causes for lower than expected conversion efficiency are studied.
