Abstract :
Four-wave mixing in a single-mode fiber is studied for general polarization states in input lights. A theory is developed for fiber four-wave mixing where the polarization states of input light are various and they change randomly when propagating through a fiber line. The results show that intensity beating between the propagating lights plays an important role in four-wave mixing efficiency in a fiber. Experimental results support the theoretical treatment
