Abstract
A scheme is proposed to enhance the cascaded four-wave mixing (CFWM) generation, by introducing an optical feedback to the input port. Experimental and numerical results show that more efficient CFWM generation can be obtained by the scheme. The number of CFWM products is increased, as well as the powers of most CFWM products are improved.Keywords
