摘要
We develop a vector theory of four-wave mixing and use it to discuss the impact of polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) on measurements of the variations of the zero-dispersion wavelength along an optical fiber. We show that the PMD induces large fluctuations in the idler power and affects considerably the accuracy of such measurements.
