We describe a phase-amplification technique using a Sagnac interferometer. We monitor the relative phase between two paths of a precisely misaligned interferometer by measuring the average position of a split-Gaussian mode in the dark port. Although we monitor only the dark port, we show that the signal varies linearly with phase and that we can obtain similar sensitivity to balanced homodyne detection. We derive the source of the amplification using classical wave optics.

Phase-sensitive amplification of optical signal by an SOA in a nonlinear Sagnac interferometer

Phase-sensitive amplification of picosecond optical pulses was demonstrated using an SOA as the nonlinear medium inside a Sagnac interferometer with a weak control signal. Numerical simulations using a semiconductor amplifier model are consistent with experiments.
