Abstract :
We present a soft glass fibre design for high nonlinearity and broadband, low dispersion and simulate its performance as a phase sensitive amplifier for high bit rate signals at 1 T b/s. We use a degenerate, two pump four wave mixing scheme and show that with a fibre length of less than 1 m we are able to achieve 14 dB discrimination between the amplified and deamplified signal quadratures with 1 W pump power.
