Fs. Yang et al., CW FIBER OPTICAL PARAMETRIC-AMPLIFIER WITH NET GAIN AND WAVELENGTH CONVERSION EFFICIENCY GREATER-THAN-1, Electronics Letters, 32(25), 1996, pp. 2336-2338
The authors have measured a signal gain of 5 dB and idler conversion e
fficiency of 4 dB in a CW fibre optical parametric amplifier. The broa
dening of the idler spectrum resulting from pump dithering used to sup
press SBS is observed, and a means to eliminate it is proposed.
