Abstract

Binary-phase-shift-keyed pump modulation in fiber parametric devices is investigated. The temporal and spectral properties of wavelength-converted optical signals are studied as functions of the pump-modulation rate. Excessive idler broadening is observed in both one- and two-pump parametric architectures. The idler impairments are found to increase as the rise and fall times of the pump-modulation scheme decrease.
