Talk:Four-wave mixing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page has too narrow a view of four-wave mixing. It not simply an error mechanism in telecommunications. It is a very general class of nonlinear optical phenomena that have many applications.J S Lundeen 00:39, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect or move?

The most common way of writing FWM is with a dash: "Four-wave mixing". This is done e.g. in the classic textbook "Nonlinear Fiber Optics" by G. P. Agrawal. Furthermore, the article on Nonlinear optics has a link to Four-wave mixing, which does not yet exist. I therefore suggest that this article is either moved from Four wave mixing to Four-wave mixing or that a redirect is made from Four-wave mixing to Four wave mixing. I prefer the first alternative, since it is most common to use the dash.
