The nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) characteristics in a quantum-dot Fabry-Perot laser are investigated, employing the dual-mode injection-locking technique. The solitary laser features two lasing peaks, which provides the possibility for efficient FWM generation. Under optical injection, the NDFWM is operated up to a detuning range of 1.7 THz with a low injection ratio of 0.42. The normalized conversion efficiency (NCE) and the side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) with respect to the converted signal are analyzed. The highest NCE of -17 dB associated with a SMSR of 20.3 dB is achieved at detuning of 110 GHz.
