Two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers with three-section fibers allocation

Based on the theory model of two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier with single-section fiber allocation (FOPA-SF), a new two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier with three-section fibers arrangement (FOPA-TFs) is put forward, which can provide gain bandwidth of more than 405 nm with optimum fiber parameters calculated by genetic algorithm. The numerical simulation is performed to investigate the influence of pump wavelength allocation on the gain spectrum of FOPA, and it is found that the smaller wavelength separation between the two pumps (Δλ) can provide more uniform gain over a relatively wide bandwidth. Moreover, the gain ripple owing to random fluctuations of zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) can be improved to a large extent by reducing pump separation Δλ.     

宽面积垂直腔半导体光放大器

Gain characteristics and optimization of dual-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier using two-section highly nonlinear fibers

In this paper the gain characteristics of two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPA) with two-section highly nonlinear fibers are analyzed numerically and the parameters of the fibers are optimized to reach broad and flat gain spectra using genetic algorithm. Different from the previous methods, here the space between two pump wavelengths and the parameter β₄ of the fibers are included as a pivotal factor in the optimization. The numerical simulation shows that using two-section practical high nonlinear fibers, the amplifier may reach 110 nm bandwidth covering 1495–1605 nm with 10.5 dB average gain and gain ripple of 0.17 dB, when the total pump power is 1 W.     

Theoretical study of gain distortions in dual-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers

We study analytically and numerically the small signal gain in dual-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers by including the phase modulation of the pump waves needed for practically increasing the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold. As for the single-pump case, we show that large signal gain distortions are generated under co-phase modulation, which depend on the rise/fall time of the phase modulation and on the fiber dispersion slope. However, it is clearly confirmed that the counter-phase modulation scheme allows to efficiently suppress these gain distortions over the whole flat gain region. In addition, we demonstrate through realistic numerical simulations that this useful technique overcomes the additional impact of pump-phase modulation to amplitude modulation conversion and zero-dispersion wavelength variations.     

Polarization-dependent gain and saturation energy density in a TE N2-laser amplifier

The polarization-dependent gain, g₀, and saturation energy density, E_s, in a TE N₂-laser amplifier were measured, using an oscillator-amplifier laser system for different amplifier electrode gap separations, d_AMP, of 7, 9 and 4 mm and gas pressure of p = 77, 60, and 165 Torr, respectively. It was realized that for the amplifier with the gap separation of 7 and 9 mm, where the pd_AMP-value has its optimum-value of 54 Torr cm, the gain-coefficient for the input beam with the polarization parallel to the discharge electrodes (P-polarized beam) is slightly higher than the case when the beam polarization is perpendicular to the discharge electrodes (S-polarized beam). In this case, the depolarization ratio for d_AMP = 7 mm is the range of ∼0.998 to ∼0.962 as the input voltage increases from 12 to 15.5 kV, having a minimum of 0.937 around 14 kV. For the E_s-parameter, the reversed order is true. Also, it was found that the saturation energy densities for three states of polarization are linearly related to the output energy densities, having different slopes of 0.11, 0.14, and 0.17 for R (randomly), P- and S-polarization, respectively. The present measurement supports qualitatively the prediction of polarization-inhomogeneity model for the stimulated emission cross-section, showing that randomly oriented dipoles exhibit slightly larger gain on the direction of the electric field.     

Noncollinear optical parametric amplification in lithium triborate seeded by a cw Ti:sapphire laser

Experimental investigations of a type-I noncollinear phase-matched optical parametric amplification based on lithium triborate, which was pumped by a 5-ns second-harmonic pulses from a Q-switched Nd:YAG, seeded by a cw Ti:sapphire laser at 800 nm, was presented. The experiments generated 2-ns signal output pulses at 800 nm, the maximum signal output pulse energy reached 19 μJ, the corresponding parametric gain was 44 dB. Furthermore, the experiments demonstrate that the 65 nm-FWHM parametric fluorescence gain spectrum could also be observed. A quantitative account of the ultrabroadband parametric fluorescence gain spectrum was given with our theory. The experimental measurements are in agreement with theoretical calculations.
