Polarization control for slow and fast light in fiber optical, Raman-assisted, parametric amplification
Marco Santagiustina, Luca Schenato, Carlo Giacomo Someda
Efficient slow and fast light fiber devices based on narrow band optical parametric amplification require a strict polarization control of the waves involved in the interaction. The use of high birefringence and spun fibers is studied theoretically, possible impairments evaluated, and design parameters determined.
