Dual-pump driven, dispersion-synthesized parametric mixers have been identified as an efficient means for wavelength multicasting. In particular, four-mode phase-sensitive (PS) architecture, seeded by frequency-locked and phase-correlated four input optical signals, allows the parametric multicasting operated with ultralow noise and regenerative properties. To further corroborate the superiorities of the multimode PS operation, degenerate one- and three-mode PS parametric multicasting were numerically and experimentally compared, in terms of stability, phase manipulation, gain, and conversion efficiency, as well as noise performance.
