  • Abstract
    Summary from only given. We have obtained analytical expressions for the two-orthogonal-pump optical parametric amplifier (OPA). Our experiments demonstrate good agreement with theory. A perpendicular OPA requires higher pump power than a parallel OPA to achieve the same parametric gain. We also investigated the bandwidths of the two configurations, and proposed a technique that can be used to equalize them.
