In the straightforward case of $\epsilon = 0$, the $\beta^{(3)}$ term (as well as all the other odd terms of $\kappa$) cancels out, leaving only the contribution from higher order dispersion.  In the approximation $\Delta\Omega \gg \Delta\omega \gg \epsilon we obtain a simpler expression for the process momentum conservation  $$ \kappa(\epsilon) * L =   in which we can identify the process acceptance-bandwidth $\delta\omega_{bs}$, and the frequency separation from symmetric point $\delta\epsilon = \frac{\beta^{(4)}}{3 \beta^{(3)}} \Delta\Omega^2$ due to higher-order dispersion \cite{Provo_2010}. [Provo2010]  One prominent feature of FWM-BS, already noticed in [Inoue94,Marhic96] is highlighted by equation (2), that is translation for any given pair of signal and idler frequency can be exacly phasematched by choosing the appropriate pumps: this gives the flexibility of tuning the parameters of the interaction without the modifing the dispersion of the nonlinear medium.
