Abstract

We present experimental advances in comparative studies of optical parametric amplification (OPA) in microstructured fused silica solid-core fibers and hollow-core fibers filled with acetylene (C2H2). Both media exhibit third-order nonlinearity, enabling the OPA process in collinear configurations with a high spatial concentration of light power. In the former, non-resonant case, we investigated the parametric amplification via four-wave mixing (FWM) with a degenerate pump by picosecond laser pulses centered at a wavelength of 737 nm. This process ensured the generation of the correlated signal/idler photon pairs that could be parametrically amplified in a similar nonlinear micro-structured fiber. For the resonant acetylene-filled fibers, we present an experimental evaluation of the OPA gain in a degenerate collinear FWM at 1530 nm near the P9 acetylene absorption line. We specifically studied the transformation of amplitude modulation in the quasi-continuous W-scale input pump wave to output phase modulation and vice versa. Our research compares OPA efficiencies and the potential to generate squeezed and entangled light states in resonant and non- resonant fiber-based media.
