Abstract

Optical phase lock loop circuit for non-degenerate parametric phase sensitive amplifiers with wide signal- idler light frequency spacing is proposed. The proof-of-principle experiment is successfully demonstrated for 40-GHz spaced signal-idler lights using 5-GHz beat signals.

We experimentally investigate the phase squeezing properties of a phase-sensitive parametric amplifier by measuring the input and output signal phase with a coherent receiver. The reduction in phase variation is found to be proportional to the PSA gain.

Optical signal to noise ratio improvement through unbalanced noise beating in phase-sensitive parametric amplifiers

Rohit Malik, Ales Kumpera, Samuel L. I. Olsson +2 more

We investigate the beating of signal and idler waves, which have imbalanced signal to noise ratios, in a phase-sensitive parametric amplifier. Imbalanced signal to noise ratios are achieved in two ways; first by imbalanced noise loading; second by varying idler to signal input power ratio. In the case of imbalanced noise loading the phase-sensitive amplifier improved the signal to noise ratio from 3 to 6 dB, and in the case of varying idler to signal input power ratio, the signal to noise ratio improved from 3 to in excess of 20 dB.

Gain characteristics of a frequency nondegenerate phase-sensitive fiber-optic parametric amplifier with phase self-stabilized input

We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a phase-sensitive amplifier based on frequency nondegenerate parametric amplification in optical fiber, where the input signal-idler pair is prepared all-optically. Using two fiber-optic parametric amplifier sections separated by a fiber-based wavelength-dependent phase shifter, we observe and investigate phase-sensitive gain profile in the 1550 nm region both experimentally and theoretically. The realized scheme automatically generates gain-defining phase that is environmentally stable, making it advantageous for building phase-sensitive transmission links.

We demonstrate a novel, lossless approach, eliminating the need to copropagate pumps in phase-sensitive parametric amplifier-based links, by control loops creating a locked pump within the amplifier. Gain, noise and BER measurements validate the performance.
