Enhancing the phase sensitivity of phase sensitive amplifiers for efficient phase regeneration

Abstract

We have clarified a mechanism that sidebands entailed by phase sensitive amplification significantly increase gain extinction ratio, by scrutinizing the trajectories of the output signal vector in the complex plane with increasing nonlinear phase shift.

We show that sidebands entailed by phase sensitive amplification significantly increase the parametric de-amplification. The resultant gain extinction ratio was 30 dB with less than 22-dBm pump power, which enables an efficient phase regenerator.

Utilizing the amplification/de-amplification modes of a phase-sensitive amplifier, we implement a notch filter with extinction ratios given by amplifier gain squared. Bit error rate measurements demonstrate highly effective isolation of a signal-of-interest from neighboring interferers.

Evolution of the gain extinction ratio in dual-pump phase sensitive amplification

Mingyi Gao, Takashi Inoue, Takayuki Kurosu +1 more

We have experimentally achieved a gain extinction ratio (GER) of 30 dB at 21.75 dBm pump power in a dual-pump phase sensitive amplifier based on highly nonlinear fiber, which is more efficient than what we predict with the conventional three-wave model. We point out that high-order sidebands play a key role. Then we scrutinize the trajectories of the output signal vector in the complex plane with increasing nonlinear phase shift and understand the roll-over behavior of GER versus pump power curve. We found that the phase "flip" of the output signal occurs around the largest GER. Adjusting design parameters, we show how to improve GER.
