Abstract
Phase-matching for four-wave mixing is evaluated numerically for several core radii and for the HE11 and HE12 modes of a strongly-guiding, air-silica fiber such as a microstructure fiber. The results serve as a guide for selecting the required fiber core size to favor nonlinear conversion between specific frequencies and may explain some spectral features in continuum generation.
