The theory of frequency-degenerate six-wave mixing of ultra-short light pulses in a medium rjth relaxing Kerr nonlinearity is developed. The energetic and temporal output characteristics are analysed as functions of parameters of medium and pump pulses. For certain delay time between pump pulses, the parametric gain of the signal and conjugated pulse in whole medium length is maximized. An effect of the counter-propagating pump pulse compression is predicted. The dynamics of transition between six-wave mixing and four-wave one with a change of an angle between the pump and signal propagation directions is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
