Microstructure Fibers (MFs) have received a lot of attention owing to the high nonlinearity that results from their very small effective core area. Consequently, all the nonlinear effects that are ...

Phase-sensitive optical parametric amplification (OPA) represents a pivotal advance in optical communications, exploiting the nonlinear interaction between a strong pump and a weak signal to achieve ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2023.220046 discusses table-top optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers. The invention of Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) ...

The ability to achieve quantum-limited amplification of optical signals contained in optical fibers is arguably among the most important technological advances that are underlying our modern ...

Scientists at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, have developed photonic integrated circuits that demonstrated a new principle of light amplification on a silicon chip. They say can be employed for optical ...

Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers, also known as RSOAs, are high-performance, low-cost transceivers used for data amplification and modulation in radio over fiber systems, full-duplex optic ...

Modern communication networks rely on optical signals to transfer vast amounts of data. But just like a weak radio signal, these optical signals need to be amplified to travel long distances without ...
