We propose and demonstrate a polarization independent Raman-assisted fiber optical parametric amplifier using depolarized Raman and parametric pumps. The polarization dependent gain fluctuation has been reduced from >10 dB to less than 1 dB.

Polarization Control for Slow and Fast Light in Fiber Optical, Raman-assisted, Parametric Amplification
Efficient slow and fast light fiber devices based on narrow band optical parametric amplification require a strict polarization control of the waves involved in the interaction. The use of high birefringence and spun fibers is studied theoretically, possible impairments evaluated, and design parameters determined.
متن کاملFiber-Based Optical Parametric Amplifiers and Their Applications
An applications-oriented review of optical parametric amplifiers in fiber communications is presented. The emphasis is on parametric amplifiers in general and single pumped parametric amplifiers in particular. While a theoretical framework based on highly efficient four-photon mixing is provided, the focus is on the intriguing applications enabled by the parametric gain, such as all-optical sig...
متن کاملPhase-Sensitive Parametric Signal Processing in Optical Communications
This thesis covers the analysis of several schemes for parametric processing in fiberoptic communication systems, focusing mainly on phase-sensitive processing. Vector phase-sensitive amplifiers are characterized and phase regeneration of a dualpolarization (DP)-binary phase-shift keying signal (BPSK) signal is experimentally demonstrated. Theoretically, the requirements for achieving polarizat...
متن کاملUltrahigh-bit-rate soliton communication systems using dispersion-decreasing fibers and parametric amplifiers.
We study analytically and numerically soliton communication links made by use of dispersion-decreasing fibers and parametric amplif iers. We show that bit rates greater than 100 Gbits/s (one channel, one polarization) can be achieved with large amplif ier spacings (as high as 120 km). The Raman effect and soliton interactions are compensated through optical phase conjugation, whereas fiber loss...
متن کاملImpact of Fourth-Order Dispersion Coefficient on the Gain Spectrum and the Saturation Behavior of One-Pump Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifiers
In this paper, the gain spectrum and the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (1-P FOPAs) are investigated by taking into account the fourth-order dispersion coefficient b4 in the analysis. The results show that it is necessary to consider b4 in the analysis when the wavelength difference between the signal and pump waves is large enough and/or whenever the pump w...
