Abstract

In this work the authors experimentally study the problem of non-degenerate four-wave-mixing (FWM) by using a pair of partially coherent pumps, and focus our attention on a specific type of FWM, which is generally called "Bragg-Scattering" (BS-FWM). This kind of FWM has attracted a renewed interest because of its intrinsically low-noise nature which makes it potentially applicable for light-by-light manipulation even for very faint signals such as quantum keys.
