An experimental study of using the crossed pump-dividing stimulated four-photon mixing (SFPM) to measure the total disparsion of optical fiber is reported.
The diode intrinsic noise temperature of some milimeter Schottky mixer diode was measured and reviewed. A measurement method was described at room and cooled temperature.
The analytical solutions for the stead state equations of four wave mixing with an arbitrary complex coupling constant are given without the undepleted pump approximation.
