Optical parametric amplifier for multi-channel communications

A system and methods for low noise multi-channel optical signal amplification using an optical parametric amplifier are described. A waveguide etched into a ϰ(2) nonlinear optical material, such as thin film lithium niobate (TFLN), provides confined optical parametric amplification using a pump laser to amplify multi-channel optical signals of lower energy. Noise and crosstalk between channels within the OPA waveguide amplifier can be reduced if the OPA waveguide physical dimensions, along with the optical properties of the waveguide material, are adjusted to create a group velocity mismatch (GVM) between the propagating pump light and the amplified signal channels. OPA waveguide designs with larger GVM reduces crosstalk between modes in the waveguide, reducing noise, as measured by the error vector magnitude (EVM), and improving signal fidelity for the amplified optical signals.
