Abstract
Optical fiber microwires (OFMs) are nonlinear optical waveguides that
support several spatial modes. The multimodal generalized nonlinear Schrödinger
equation (MM-GNLSE) is deduced taking into account the linear and nonlinear
modal coupling. A detailed theoretical description of four-wave mixing (FWM)
considering the modal coupling is developed. Both, the intramode and the intermode
phase-matching conditions is calculated for an optical microwire in a strong
guiding regime. Finally, the FWM dynamics is studied and the amplitude evolution
of the pump beams, the signal and the idler are analyzed.
