Phase-Sensitive Amplification in Optical Fibers

Published Jan 1, 2005• 3 citations

Abstract

We describe the progress in fiber-based phase-sensitive parametric amplifiers in both frequency-degenerate and frequency-nondegenerate configurations. We discuss their applications for phase regeneration, as well as for lumped and distributed noiseless amplification.

We present recent advances in phase-sensitive amplification technology and its application to the regeneration of phase-encoded signals. Using a combination of parametric effects in fibers and optical injection locking of lasers, it is possible to observe phase regeneration in signals with multiple levels of phase encoding.

An optical regeneration scheme based on non-degenerate phase-sensitive amplification in highly-nonlinear fibers is proposed. The regenerator exhibits significant amplitude and phase noise suppression properties and eliminates the need for precise phase and frequency locking with the input signal.
