## Abstract The simultaneous measurement of the nonlinear refractive index and the chromatic dispersion measurement of dispersion shift fibers are proposed, based on the power determination of the mixing products generated by four pump waves. This method is also used with other low‐dispersion chrom

Abstract
The four‐wave mixing (FWM) process in single‐mode optical fibers is investigated by considering that a zero‐dispersion wavelength varies along the length of the fiber link, which is represented as a series of segments with different lengths, propagation constants, and zero‐dispersion wavelengths. The results indicate that new optical frequencies are efficiently generated for particular combinations of the input‐signal wavelengths, even when the phase‐matching condition is not fully met. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The four‐wave mixing (FWM) used in optical fibers is expected to be a simple wavelength conversion technique for ultrafast optical signals. Highly efficient generation of stable FWM light is desired. FWM efficiency depends on the zero‐dispersion wavelength of the fiber, the wavelength o
