Why large bandwidth is needed in Four Wave Mixing process?

AI Thread Summary
Large bandwidth in the four wave mixing (FWM) process is crucial for achieving high efficiency and effective signal processing in optical fibers. Satisfying the phase matching condition enhances the range of wavelengths where FWM occurs, directly impacting the bandwidth. A broader bandwidth allows for better data transmission rates and improved performance in communication systems. Understanding the significance of large bandwidth can lead to advancements in optical technologies and applications. The discussion highlights the importance of optimizing FWM for enhanced optical fiber capabilities.

Good Morning
I loved the idea of four wave mixing in an optical fiber and how by satisfying phase matching condition you get a broad bandwidth but I want to know why am I interested in a large bandwidth why do I want to think about even enlarge it more?
Thank you

So I have a process called four wave mixing which if I want high efficiency in this process I should satisfy the phase matching condition as much as possible and if that happens the range of wavelength where FWM occurs is my bandwidth
I want to know why I want large bandwidth in a physics matter
Why should I care about it ?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
