  • Abstract
    The first experimental demonstration of a continuous-wave dual-pump fibre optical parametric amplifier operating near 1 μm is reported. A flat gain band of 23 dB spanning over 16 nm (4.5 THz) with <;2 dB variation is reported. This fibre optical parametric amplifier is achieved with a dispersion stabilised microstructured optical fibre having a high figure of merit, i.e. high nonlinearity and low loss.
