We demonstrate a narrow band phase sensitive amplifier in the pump degenerate configuration which employs ps pump pulses. Control of the amplifier bandwidth is achieved via changes of the pump spectral width. A phase sensitive gain between -6 and 6 decibels, with an overall system gain of 28dB was demonstrated.

High efficiency and high output power fiber-optic parametric amplifier.

A nearly complete pump depletion of 99.92% in a single-pumped FOPA is experimentally demonstrated and a high signal output power is presented, corresponding to a power conversion efficiency of 53%, believed to be the highest efficiency ever reported for an FOPA.

Detailed characterization of afiber-optic parametric amplifier in phase-sensitive and phase-insensitive operation.

A single-pumped, non-degenerate phase-sensitive parametric amplifier with a precise control of phase and amplitude of the in-going waves is experimentally demonstrated and a departure from the theoretical maximum attenuation as the gain increases is observed and explained.
