We experimentally investigate the evolution of the direct detection noise figure of a nondegenerate phase-sensitive amplifier based on a nonlinear fiber, as a function of the relative phase between the signal, idler, and pump, all other parameters remaining fixed. The use of a fiber with a high stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold permits us to investigate the full range of phase-sensitive gain and noise figure without pump dithering. Good agreement is found with theory, both for signal only and combined signal and idler direct detections.

Nanomaterials (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Electronics Engineering, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea.
This paper introduces a Ku-band fully differential low-power high-input 1 dB compression point (P1dB) low-noise amplifier (LNA). A fully differential structure is employed to enhance the input P1dB, common-mode noise rejection, and second harmonic cancellation. The first stage adopts large transistors and is optimized for power consumption and noise figure (NF).

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers created computational phantoms with different sizes and materials (iodine and gadolinium) and imaged them under various settings to evaluate signal quality using spectral-specific metrics like multivariate CNR and separability index.
- * Findings revealed optimal signal quality occurred with low energy thresholds, high tube currents, and small phantoms, while a random forest algorithm showed the best performance in accurately identifying materials across the different conditions tested.

Article Synopsis
- - The multicore fiber amplifier is essential for advanced spatial division multiplexing (SDM) communication, but it has more complex challenges than traditional single-core systems, prompting the search for a more efficient solution.
- - An innovative triple cladding 13-core Er/Yb co-doped microstructured fiber (13CEYDMOF) is proposed to balance performance factors like efficiency and cost, featuring unique peanut-shaped air holes that improve excitation and reduce fiber size.
- - Experimental results show that the 13CEYDMOF achieved impressive performance metrics, including an average gain of 23.8 dB and a low noise figure, making it suitable for transmitting 13 spatial channels effectively in the telecommunication band.
