Abstract

In this work, we experimentally demonstrate multichannel phase sensitive amplification in periodically poled thin-film lithium niobate waveguides, achieving 4.6 to 9.6 net gain and 7.8 to 11.8 dB extinction ratio.

Phase sensitive amplification based on quadratic cascading in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide

Kwang Jo Lee, Francesca R. Parmigiani, Sheng Liu +4 more

We propose and demonstrate phase-sensitive amplification based on cascaded second harmonic generation and difference frequency generation within a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide. Excellent agreement between our numerical simulations and proof-of-principle experiments using a 3-cm waveguide device operating at wavelengths around 1550 nm is obtained. Our experiments confirm the validity and practicality of the approach and illustrate the broad gain bandwidths achievable. Additional simulation results show that the maximum gain/attenuation factor increases quadratically with input pump power, reaching a value of +/- 19.0 dB at input pump powers of 33 dBm for a 3 cm-long waveguide. Increased gains/reduced powers for a fixed gain could be achieved using longer crystals.

Large Phase Sensitive Gain in Periodically Poled Lithium–Niobate With High Pump Power

Benjamin James Puttnam, Dániel Mazroa, Satoshi Shinada +1 more

We investigate phase-sensitive operation at telecommunication wavelengths in periodically-poled lithium-niobate waveguides, measuring a record phase-dependent dynamic range of 14.5 dB with 5-dB phase-sensitive gain, compared to phase-insensitive operation. We also highlight limitations arising at high pump powers from green light emission and thermal instability which limits performance compared with an ideal theoretical model.
