Abstract

Fiber-optical parametric amplifiers (FOPA) are positioned as the future leading technique for optical signal amplification. This type of amplifiers is highly appreciated due to their applications in all-optical signal processing. Signal amplification can be achieved using single-pump or dual-pump pumping schemes. Dual-pump FOPAs provide smoother gain over wider bandwidth than single-pump FOPAs, but it is harder to maintain high performance of dual-pump FOPAs due to the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) induced energy transfer from one pump to another. In this paper the authors investigate the performance of a dual-pump FOPA under the influence of SRS in order to ensure higher gain using as low pump power as possible in a 4-channel 40 Gbps wavelength-division multiplexed transmission system.
