Abstract

We propose a phase-sensitive amplifier scheme that balances fiber loss and parametric gain everywhere in a fiber span. We show that, for long links, such a distributed phase-sensitive amplifier has a 3-dB lower noise figure than an ideal distributed phase-insensitive amplifier (e.g. Raman), even if simple direct detection is employed. This sets the ultimate limit for the optimum noise-nonlinearity trade-off in transmission systems.

  32. Here, conventional fiber is assumed to be averaging the nonlinear interaction over the signal states of polarization while preserving the relative orientation of the pump and signal. Coefficients a, b, ε, and εp are straightforwardly derived from Eq. (4.2.10) of [33], as done, for example, in [34].
