Four Wave Mixing and wavelength conversion in slow light regime

In ideal conditions the four wave mixing conversion efficiency is enhanced by the slowing down factor to the fourth power. We have investigated FWM. In ideal conditions the four wave mixing conversion efficiency is enhanced by the slowing down factor to the fourth power. We have investigated FWM in coupled resonator optical waveguides both numerically and experimentally this phenomena, also in presence of attenuation and chromatic dispersion.
