In this article, a record optical fiber gain of 70 dB was obtained in a continuous-wave pumped fiber-optical parametric amplifier, where the spectral density of ASE was up to 180 mW/nm.Abstract:
A record optical fiber gain of 70 dB was obtained in a continuous-wave pumped fiber-optical parametric amplifier. Limitations due to saturation effects from amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and due to stimulated Brillouin scattering in this unidirectional amplifier are discussed. The spectral density of ASE was up to 180 mW/nm in agreement with theoretical expectations, illustrating the possible use as a high brightness optical noise sourceread more

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of pump phase modulation (PM) on the bandwidth of single-pumped fiber-optic parametric amplifiers was analyzed and the measured values and the calculations showed that the impact on bandwidth by pump PM is small compared to the impact from the dispersion curvature.

Parametric amplification and frequency conversion in optical fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the parametric four-photon gain for light pulses decreases for fibers longer than a characteristic length, which is related to the common experimental observation that stimulated parametric emission is usually prominent only in short fibers while in long fibers stimulated Raman scattering dominates.
