Four-wave mixing |
The creation of new light wavelengths from the interaction
of two or more wavelengths being transmitted at the
same time within a few nanometers of each other. Fourwave
mixing is named for the fact that two wavelengths
interacting with each other will produce two new wavelengths,
causing distortion in the signals being transmitted.
As more wavelengths interact, the number of new
wavelengths increases exponentially.
