Title :
Hybrid phase-sensitive and phase-insensitive amplifiers for optical communication
Author_Institution :
Swansea Univ., Swansea, UK
Abstract :
A phase-sensitive amplifier followed by a phase-insensitive one can have a noise figure well below 3dB. This can be used for reducing the detrimental nonlinear effects occurring in fiber optical parametric amplifiers for optical communication.
