Raman-noise induced noise-figure limit for χ parametric amplifiers
The non-zero response time of the Kerr (χ) nonlinearity determines the quantum-limited noise figure of χ parametric amplifiers. This non-zero response time of the nonlinearity requires coupling of the parametric amplification process to a molecular-vibration phonon bath, causing the addition of excess noise through Raman gain or loss at temperatures above 0K. The effect of this excess noise on ...
متن کاملRaman-noise-induced noise-figure limit for chi(3) parametric amplifiers.
The nonzero response time of the Kerr [chi(3)] nonlinearity determines the quantum-limited noise figure of chi(3) parametric amplifiers. This nonzero response time of the nonlinearity requires coupling of the parametric amplification process to a molecular-vibration phonon bath, causing the addition of excess noise through Raman gain or loss at temperatures above 0 K. The effect of this excess ...
متن کاملSilicon Raman Amplifiers, Lasers, and Their Applications
Silicon Photonics is emerging as an attractive technology in order to realize low cost, high density integrated optical circuits. Realizing active functionalities in Silicon waveguiding structures is being pursued rigorously. In particular, the Stimulated Raman scattering process has attracted considerably attention for achieving on-chip light generation, amplification and wavelength conversion...
متن کاملMulti-Mode Mid-IR Silicon Raman Amplifiers
This paper discusses the prospects of silicon as a Mid-wave Infra-red Raman crystal. As a specific example of novel devices that can be realized, we introduce the concept of multi-mode silicon Raman amplifiers and their application in infrared image pre-amplification. The same technology also has application in incoherent beam combining.
متن کاملEnergy Scavenging in Silicon Raman Amplifiers
Continuous-wave Raman amplification in silicon waveguides with negative electrical power dissipation is reported. It is shown that a p-n junction can simultaneously achieve carrier sweep-out leading to net continuous-wave gain, and electrical power generation. The approach is also applicable to silicon Raman lasers and other third-order nonlinear optical devices. 1 Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) ha...
