Abstract
This paper is devoted to a study of the features of the nonlinear conversion of
radiation in various types of optical fibers. It is found that, when a narrow-band
radiation source is used, the spectrum of the converted radiation in a fiber-optic ring
apparatus shows significant broadening, whose character depends on the type of optical
fiber. It is shown that the broadening of the radiation spectrum results from partially
degenerate four-wave mixing. Solutions are found in explicit form that satisfy boundary
conditions that correspond to the experimental conditions.
