SGER: Transversely-Pumped Counter-Propagating Optical Parametric Amplifiers

这份提案描述了一项为期一年的活动，在该活动中，PI将进行一项调查，并基于AlAs/GaAs多层膜建立垂直腔体结构，该结构将允许使用横向泵浦方案进行光学参数放大。对于1.5微米波长的放大，泵浦波长为0.98微米；对于波长转换，泵浦波长为0.75微米。在拟议的研究中，将研究放大器和波长转换器的动态行为。对优化后结构的设计进行了仿真和测试。

This proposal describes a one-year activity in which the PI will conduct an investigation and build a vertical cavity structure, based on AlAs/GaAs multilayers that will allow optical parametric amplification using a transverse pump scheme. The pump wavelength will be at 0.98 micron for amplification at 1.5 micron wavelength, or pumping at 0.75 micron for wavelength conversion. In the proposed research, the dynamic behavior of the amplifier as well as the wavelength converter will be investigated. The design of the optimized structure will be simulated and tested.
