“…The requirement for strict control of higher-order dispersion can be relieved by introducing multiple parametric pumps [5,12]. Table 1 lists the maximal gain and matching Table 1 Gain magnitude and matching conditions for degenerate and non-degenerate parametric processes.…”

“…The mature state of HNLF technology has enabled a diversity of record demonstrations that include parametric amplification [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], band conversion [12,19], multicasting [20,21], sampling [22,23], conjugation [24] and optical switching [25,26]. The aim of this short review is to introduce some of the new design methodologies, and survey the performance and outline the prospects of fiber parametric technology.…”

We review recent progress made in parametric amplification and signal processing using high confinement fibers. In contrast to crystalline and semiconductor devices, fiber parametric amplifiers offer interaction lengths that can vary from 10 m to 1 km and are not limited by waveguide losses. The operation, design and impairment physics of general fiber parametric devices are reviewed. The technology prospects for advanced signal processing are discussed.Two-pump parametric interaction combines at least two nondegenerate and one degenerate four-photon mixing process: phase conjugation (blue), Bragg scattering (green) and MI (red).

“…Dual-pump FOPAs provide several degrees of freedom to realize a flat gain spectrum using just a single piece of fiber. By symmetrically assigning the two pumps on the opposite side of the ZDWL, a flat spectrum with high gain value has been obtained [53]. Since the two pumps are at the edge of the gain spectrum, pump blocking is no longer necessary, unlike the case of single-pump FOPAs.…”

“…This is particularly attractive for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications because it can provide broadband amplification and polarization independent performance and has lower pump power consumption than single pump FOPA [9]. However, although the amplification properties of the dual-pump nondegenerate scheme have been extensively studied [10], its regenerative properties have not been explored.…”

Abstract-We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, regeneration of a 42.66 Gbit/s differential phase shift keyed signal using a dual-pump non-degenerate four wave mixing-based fiber optic parametric amplifier. The regenerative performance of the subsystem is characterized in terms of biterror-rate against narrow-band and wide-band introduced noise. Whilst a strong receiver sensitivity improvement, up to 20 dB, is noticed against narrow-band noise, against quasi-random (wideband) noise we observe a regeneration of 2.7 dB.Index Terms-differential phase shift keying (DPSK), optical parametric amplification, phase-sensitive amplification (PSA)I. INTRODUCTION LL-OPTICAL regenerators are expected to extend the transparent length of high-speed transmission systems and simultaneously lower the energy consumption, compared to their opto-electro-optical counterparts [1]. The emergence of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) as a widely adopted modulation format for long haul transmission has prompted great interest in regeneration schemes for phase encoded signal formats. Such regenerators should provide suppression of the accumulated noise in both the amplitude and the phase of the propagated signal.Phase sensitive amplification (PSA) has proved its potential for phase noise suppression on DPSK signals. Initial schemes were based on single pump degenerate four wave mixing (FWM) in a fiber [2], [3]. Regeneration based on dual pump degenerate fiber optic parametric amplifier (FOPA) has also been proved both theoretically [4] and experimentally [5]. Using the phase locking scheme proposed in [6] to generate a pair of synchronized and frequency symmetric pump signals, the first practical "black-box" regenerator has been demonstrated in [7]. The regenerative properties of those
