Strong signal suppression in single-pump optical parametric amplifiers

Not Accessible

Abstract

We show that the combined action of parametric gain and Raman scattering can lead to the complete suppression of an input optical signal in a single-pump parametric amplifier. This suppression is due to an interference between the two parametric gain modes. The interference occurs only at a set of discrete combinations of pump power, phase mismatch, and frequency detuning. Experimentally we are able to demonstrate over 95% (13dB) suppression of an input signal in an amplifier with a peak parametric gain of only 6dB.
