Abstract
In this paper, an optical parametric amplifier and wavelength converter in
an all-fiber optical configuration is experimentally demonstrated for
photonic applications in the 1 $\mu$m band. This is achieved by using a microstructured fiber which
provides anomalous dispersion at 1 $\mu$m and an LiNbO$_3$ electro-optic intensity modulator specially designed at this
operating wavelength for generating pump pulses. A gain of greater than 30
dB together with highly efficient wavelength conversion is obtained at 1053
nm. The gain bandwidth and gain-power efficiency are also investigated.
Experimental results agree well with the theory of parametric amplification
including Raman scattering.
