Abstract :
We review some fundamental and practical aspects of fiber-optic parametric amplifiers (FOPAs). In particular, their unique phase-sensitive amplification ability along with the corresponding ultralow noise figure will be discussed. Applications of both phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive FOPAs will also be covered.
