Abstract
The laser technique of four-wave mixing is useful in both optical device applications and for characterizing fundamental properties of optical materials. This paper gives an overview of the theory and experimental technique of four-wave mixing, and presents examples of using this technique as a spectroscopic tool and of forming optical devices.
