Abstract

The theory of the four-wave mixing in nonlinear lattices is presented. Nonlinear lattice modifies the momentum conservation condition and leaves energy conservation unaffected, contrary to the more conventional linear modulation. We study the dynamics of the moving wavepacket in the presence of a nonlinear lattice and observe the formation of two new waves which is not possible in the conventional four-wave mixing process. We design an analytical plane-wave model which agrees well with numerical simulations.
