Performance Analysis Of Single-Pumped And Dual-Pumped Parametric Optical Amplifier

摘要

Abstract: In this study, we present a performance analysis of single-pumped and dual- pumped parametric optical amplifier and present the analysis of gain flatness in dual- pumped Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifier (FOPA) based on four-wave mixing (FWM). Result shows that changing the signal power and pump power give the various gains in FOPA. It is also found out that the parametric gain increase with increase in pump power and decrease in signal power. .Moreover, in this paper, the phase matching condition in FWM plays a vital role in predicting the gain profile of the FOPAbecause the parametric gain is maximum when the total phase mismatch is zero.In this paper, single-pumped parametric amplification over a 50nm gain bandwidth is demonstrated using 500 nm highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and signal achieves about 31dB gain. For dual-pumped parametric amplification, signal achieves 26.5dB gains over a 50nm gain bandwidth. Therefore, dual-pumped parametric amplifier can provide relatively flat gain over a much wider bandwidth than the single-pumped FOPA.
