Abstract

We introduce a new concept for photonic components, an optical multi wavelength oscillator based on fiber phase sensitive parametric amplification. Two experimental setups demonstrated, one for continuous wave pump and second for pulsed pump. On each setup, several simultaneous oscillations observed. The spectral spacing of the source lines and their power variance depends on the physical properties of the system as well as the pump wavelength. The pulsed pump setup also offers tunability over hundreds of nanometers with several simultaneous oscillating lines.
