Abstract :
Fiber four-wave mixing (FWM) in the zero-dispersion wavelength region is described. The phase-matching characteristics are studied in the wavelength region where the first-order chromatic dispersion is zero. The results show that the phase-matching condition is satisfied and FWM light is efficiently generated at particular combinations of input light wavelengths. It is also shown that the deviation of the zero-dispersion wavelength along the fiber length plays an important role in FWM behavior
