The theory of degenerate four-wave mixing with surface guided waves is developed and used to derive expressions for the non-linear cross sections. The relative merits of using planar thin film dielectric waveguides versus surface plasmons guided by metal surfaces are discussed, with specific numerical examples based on PTS and InSb.
