Characterization of distortionless analog signal multicasting by parametric mixer

We present characterization of a two-pump parametric device for analog linear multicasting. Linearity of parametric multicasting is assessed from highly linearized input seed by two-tone intermodulation measurements. Experimental results confirm distortionless behavior of four-photon mixers.
