Four-wave mixing (FWM) was demonstrated using polymer-coated Iron phosphorus trisulfide (FePS3) arc-shaped fiber as a device for nonlinear application. The FWM-based system had a maximum FWM conversion efficiency and wavelength tuning range of −37.5 dB and 6 nm, respectively. The FWM-based laser output was highly stable, with a maximum fluctuation in FWM conversion efficiency of only 0.1 dB. The overlaying of low refractive index (RI) polymer on the FePS3 arc-shaped fiber enhanced the device’s performance, with an effective nonlinear coefficient, (Formula presented.), of the device was calculated to be 666.7 W− 1 km− 1. The proposed nonlinear device is an exciting device for integration in optical network applications. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
