Abstract
Temperature dependence of resonant four-wave mixing (RFWM) in an erbium-doped optical fiber without amplification is investigated experimentally. A large change in the refractive index resulting from the transition absorption is induced in the erbium-doped fiber. The maximum reflectivity of RFWM at 0.3 m fiber length increases from 4.1% to 5.5% with change in temperature from 40°C to - 196°C. The temperature-dependent reflectivity characteristics correspond to the change in the absorption cross section at 1.53 μm wavelength.
