description

During the last few years, intensive works on multimode fibers allowed for the observation of a series of complex and novel nonlinear spatiotemporal phenomena such as: multimode solitons, geometric parametric instability, supercontinuum generation, and self-induced beam cleaning [1-4]. Among these phenomena, intermodal four-wave mixing (IMFWM) demonstrated larger frequency shifts in comparison with single-mode fibers. In this work, we studied IMFWM in a few-mode graded-index fiber (GRIN-FMF) pumped in the normal dispersion regime at 1064 nm. We report parametric sidebands detuned by hundreds of THz from the pump.
