22. If the intensities of probe and conjugate waves approach those of the two pumps, pump depletion has to be taken into account and our analysis is not valid anymore.
23. The name “optical quasiparticles” is introduced in view of the analogy 1321 with the quasiparticle excitations in a superconductor, described by the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations; see P. G. de Gennes, Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys (Benjamin, New York, 1966). Just as these superconductor quasiparticles have a mixed electron-hole character, the optical quasiparticles consist of both a probe and a conjugate part.
