An applications-oriented review of optical parametric amplifiers in fiber communications is
presented. The emphasis is on parametric amplifiers in general and single pumped …

By suitably choosing the fiber properties, and by tuning the pump wavelength near the fiber
zero-dispersion wavelength, one can in principle generate a wide variety of one-pump fiber …

" Fiber optical parametric amplifiers (OPAS) show great potential for applications in high-
speed optical communication systems.-This is the first book to provide comprehensive …

The bandwidth of a single-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier is governed by the even
orders of fiber dispersion at the pump wavelength. The amplifier can exhibit gain over a wide …

Optical parametric amplifiers rely on second-order susceptibility (three-wave mixing) or third-
order susceptibility (four-wave mixing) in a nonlinear process where the energy of incoming …

We demonstrate for the first time, experimentally, the performance of fiber-based optical
parametric amplifiers in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) applications. Both a 3/spl …

The prospects for using fiber optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) in optical communication
systems are reviewed. Phase‐insensitive amplifiers (PIAs) and phase‐sensitive amplifiers …

Theory predicts that a two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier or wavelength converter
operated near the fiber zero-dispersion wavelength can exhibit a gain spectrum …

We derive an analytical theory for the noise figure of an undepleted and lossless fiber optical
parametric amplifier (FOPA). Both the signal and the wavelength converted idler are …

A broad-band continuous-wave (CW) pumped fiber-based parametric amplifier with 39 dB of
internal gain and wavelength conversion efficiency, corresponding to a black box …
