Starting from the Gross-Pitaevskii nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, we derive a set of nonlinear coupled equations describing four-wave mixing with matter waves and solve them analytically without utilizing the undepleted pump approximation.

Coherent light wave generated from incoherent pump light in nonlinear Kerr medium

Yan Yan, Changxi Yang

We show theoretically and numerically that in an instantaneous-response Kerr medium, a coherent signal light can be generated spontaneously from an incoherent pump light in the degenerate four-wave mixing process. Our analysis shows that this phenomenon requires the same group velocities of pump wave and idler wave as well as the convection (walk-off) between the signal wave and pump/idler waves.
