Abstract
A theoretical analysis of vectorial three-wave mixing in isotropic Kerr media is presented. The analysis based on the coupled-wave equations describes the amplification of a weak wave by coupling with a strong pump wave phase matched by optically induced change of average refractive index. The phase matching condition for interacting waves with different polarizations is calculated, allowing a large amplification of a weak wave by three-wave mixing in thick Kerr media. The main conclusions of our theoretical analysis are supported by the results of experiments in CS2 liquid medium.
