Abstract :
This paper reports experimental results on optical parametric amplification in anneal-proton exchanged (APE) and reverse-proton exchanged (RPE) waveguides in periodically-poled lithium niobate using 1.064 μm pulsed YAG laser as the pump and tunable L-band external cavity diode laser as the signal.
