Abstract

The effect of random fluctuations in the zero-dispersion wavelength is considered for fiber four-wave mixing. Theoretical expressions for average parametric gain, phase-conjugation conversion efficiency, and gain bandwidth are obtained and found to be in good agreement with experiments. Possible limitations on the noise figure in phase-sensitive amplifiers based on fiber four-wave mixing are also discussed.
