Abstract
Four-wave mixing in erbium-doped fibre amplifiers is presented and studied. Coupling in two cases is demonstrated; first, where one laser supplies all three input beams, and second, where two different lasers are used and the coupling is measured as a function of their relative detuning. This has potential uses in dynamic fibre-optic applications such as filters and wavelength routing.
