Abstract
In this paper, we present a theoretical evaluation of curved Er3+- doped Li NbO3 waveguide statistical parameters. We calculate the output mean photon number, the standard deviation, the Fano factor and the statistical fluctua tions. Simulations are performed using the small-gain approximation and the photon statistics master equation of the linear amplifier, transposed to t he case of curved amplifiers. The evolution of the above-mentioned device c haracteristics with various pump powers, waveguide lengths and signal wavel engths are also presented.
