Measurement of fiber non-linearity based on four-wave mixing with an ASE source

A new four-wave mixing scheme to practically measure the non-linear coefficient of fibers is introduced. A single erbium-doped fiber amplifier is used to create the two wavelengths for the four-wave mixing inputs, which are pre-spectrally sliced via fiber Bragg grating filters. The proposed scheme a...
