摘要
The effect of birefringence in 2-fold-symmetric microstructured optical fibers on the phase matching conditions for four-wave mixing is analyzed. The three general types of four-wave mixing are considered. General features are obtained through analytic expansions of phase-matching formulas. Three commonly used designs of fibers are analyzed numerically. Particular designs allow the generation of specified wavelengths, supercontinuum or entangled photons.
