摘要
We report nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) in simultaneous amplification of copropagating and counterpropagating waves with a frequency spacing of a few GHz by a 1.5 μm nonresonant near traveling-wave semiconductor laser amplifier. Experimental results are in qualitative agreement with a theoretical model assuming the NDFWM process is mainly due to carrier pulsation produced by the beating of copropagating waves in the amplifier. The amplification of a phase-modulated wave is considered. Time-reversal properties of four-wave mixing are finally demonstrated. © 1990 IEEE
