Abstract
Four-wave mixing (FWM) in nonlinear germanosilicate fibers with concentrations as high as 67 mol.% in the core is studied theoretically and experimentally. Large frequency shifts of are observed in the mixed-mode pump parametric process. The dependence of FWM phase matching on the concentration, core diameter, and index profile is demonstrated. The 2.5% conversion efficiency of an 887 nm signal to a communication band is obtained at a 2 W cw pump power inside the fiber. ©2005 Optical Society of America
