  • Abstract
    We demonstrate for the first time optical parametric amplification (OPA) operating at GHz rate in near-IR using hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguide. The strong gain at this repetition rate shows its potential for telecommunication applications and a GHz-rate optical parametric oscillator.
