Abstract

We analyze the effect of nonlinear loss on four-wave mixing (FWM) conversion efficiency. Maximum conversion efficiency is geometry independent and equal to e−2|χ(3)/Im{χ(3)}|2 when nonlinear loss dominates. Optimum device length and operating conditions are obtained and theoretical results are verified with a picosecond pulse FWM experiment.
