Applications of nonlinear four-wave mixing in optical communication

• In this paper I will briefly review some applications of nonlinear four-wave-mixing in optical fibers and silicon-nitride waveguides. This includes ultrafast all-optical waveform sampling and ‘noiseless’ phase-sensitive optical amplification which have been demonstrated to enable signal recovery at very low optical powers.
