Abstract

Coherent light sources in the short- and mid-wave infrared spectral regions have many applications. We introduce a compact, hollow core fiber-based, quasi-phase-matched, electric field induced optical parametric amplifier (OPA). We numerically and analytically compute the spatially varying electrostatic fields within the pressurized xenon-filled core, which result from patterned electrodes with modulated voltages. We incorporate electrostatic fields, numerically modeled fiber transmission, and voltage thresholds into high fidelity modeling of OPA conversion efficiency. The required tens of meters of fiber are wrapped between two concentric cylinders printed with electrodes for experimental characterization of the OPA design.
