摘要
Theory shows that the maximum gain and bandwidth of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers made from high-nonlinearity fiber, operated with a pump wavelength lambda(p) far from the fiber zero-dispersion wavelength lambda(o), can greatly be improved by periodic dispersion compensation. We have performed experiments and obtained good agreement with theory: for lambda(p) = 1542 and lambda(o) = 1591 mm, we have increased the bandwidth from 7 to 28 mn, and the maximum gain from 15 to 20 dB, by splicing three pieces of standard fiber at regular intervals in a 40-m long nonlinear fiber.
