Abstract

Because of the zero dispersion wavelength (ZDWL) random fluctuations, the gain and noise figures deteriorate in optical parametric amplifiers based on highly nonlinear fibers (HNLFs). The detrimental role of ZDWL fluctuations on the gain and noise performance in dual-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) is presented. Numerical investigations of noise figure (NF) for different fibers with random fluctuation are analyzed. The noise figures for different fibers are varying even if the random fluctuation is small. Through choosing HNLFs with low ZDWL fluctuation and large nonlinear coefficient, high-gain and low-noise performance can be obtained.
