摘要
We demonstrate the modulation instability (MI) and four-wave mixing (FWM) spectra at the input of a pump accompanied with a seed in the dispersion-shifted fiber. By numerically solving the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, it is confirmed that there are two regions as the absolute value of the second-order fiber dispersion decreases, where MI and FWM dominates, respectively. We attribute this phenomenon to the competition between MI and FWM. Furthermore, for the FWM-dominating region, it can be divided into two subregions according to the different power levels of MI, which mainly results from the power transfer between MI and dispersive wave. Our results may lead to a further understanding of nonlinear interactions in optical fiber.
