Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Suppression and Optical Parametric Amplification in Highly Nonlinear Optical Fiber
Suppression of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is an important technology for realization of fiber parametric amplification. Phase modulation is employed in the early literatures to meet this purpose. A new method is proposed that a secondly phase modulation is applied on a modulated optical source. Based on this technique, by adding a 365 MHz phase modulation to the 2 GHz phase modulated laser source, the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold is improved from 10 dBm to 23.5 dBm. Continuous wave (CW) pump optical parametric amplification is demonstrated experimentally in a 1450 m-long highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF), with the nonlinear coefficient γ=11.9 W-1km-1, dispersion slope S=0.0155 ps/(nm2?km). Using an external cavity laser (ECL) as the signal, 26 nm bandwidth (gain>10 dB) and 24 dB maximum gain for small signal are obtained.
