Abstract :
We demonstrated a pulsed-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier followed by a narrow optical filter for transparent signal amplification. Wide gain-bandwidth of 85 nm, large gain of 43 dB, and clear eye-opening were demonstrated for 10 Gb/s-NRZ signals by a 20 GHz asynchronous pulsed pump.
