Investigation of gain ripple in two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers

Opt Lett. 2008 Oct 1;33(19):2203-5. doi: 10.1364/ol.33.002203.

Abstract

By using the four-sideband theory, we analyze the gain spectrum in wideband two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers and predict gain ripples over the flat gain region. We derive an approximation of their pseudo-periods and discuss methods for reducing their amplitudes.
