TLDR
In this paper, the solitary-wave solutions of the four-wave equations are studied and their relevance to four wave mixing in finite media is discussed, and the authors show that by controlling the linear phase mismatch judiciously, it is often possible to effect a complete transfer of action from the pump waves to the probe and signal waves.Abstract:
The solitary-wave solutions of the four-wave equations are studied, and their relevance to four-wave mixing in finite media is discussed. In general, the transfer of action from the pump waves to the probe and signal waves is limited by nonlinear phase shifts that detune the interaction. However, by controlling the linear phase mismatch judiciously, it is often possible to effect a complete transfer of action from the pump waves to the probe and signal waves.read more

Microwave-photonic frequency multiplication utilizing optical four-wave mixing and fiber Bragg gratings
TL;DR: In this article, a novel technique for optical multiplication of a millimeter-wave carrier is presented, which utilizes optical four-wave mixing (FWM) in highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and the filtering properties of matched fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs).
Dynamics of space-charge waves in the laser beat-wave accelerator. Memorandum report
TL;DR: In this article, the excitation of plasma waves by two laser beams, whose frequency difference is approximately the plasma frequency, is analyzed, which is fully relativistic in the axial and transverse directions and includes mismatching of the laser beat frequency to the plasma, time-dependent laser amplitudes, and an applied transverse magnetic field (surfatron configuration).

Four-wave mixing
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple scalar theory of the four-wave mixing (FWM) process and the techniques used for phase-matching are discussed. But the main difference between FWM and stimulated scattering processes is that the phase matching condition is automatically satisfied in the case of Raman or Brillouin scattering as a result of the active participation of the nonlinear medium.

Second-Harmonic Generation in an Optical Medium with Second- and Third-Order Nonlinear Susceptibilities
TL;DR: In this article, the second-harmonic generation (SHG) was investigated for a dispersive medium with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, and the optimal condition for SHG was deduced and the dependence of the SHG conversion efficiency upon the nonlinearity, the dispersion and the input field intensity was discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, two independent equations relating the average powers at the different frequencies in nonlinear inductors and capacitors are derived, which are independent of the particular shape of this characteristic, of the power levels at the various frequencies, and of the external circuit in which the nonlinear reactor is connected.

Ultrahigh gradient particle acceleration by intense laser-driven plasma density waves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a phase-locking approach to phase-lock particles in a wave driven by resonantly beating two laser beams in a high-density plasma, which can produce ultrahigh electric fields that propagate with velocities close to c.
