摘要
Nearly degenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) and asymmetric gain saturation were studied in a 1.5-mu-m InGaAsP semiconductor laser amplifier at highly saturated conditions (P(out) >> P(sat)) and frequency separations up to 500 GHz. Apart from modulation of the carrier density the data reveal a new mechanism of NDFWM with a characteristic time of about 650 fs which takes over when the frequency separation exceeds 100 GHz.
