Abstract

We describe a comprehensive model which predicts fundamental limits for slow light using narrow band parametric amplification. It includes Raman contribution to phase matching and fiber birefringence. Exemplary experiments confirming the model are also described.

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.

Narrow Band Optical Parametric Amplification for Slow Light in Randomly Birefringent Fibers

Luca Schenato, Marco Santagiustina, Carlo Giacomo Someda

The effects of random birefringence in narrowband parametric amplification for slow light has been numerically investigated showing that the reduction of the mean gain directly causes the reduction of the mean delay for small birefringence.
