Abstract
Optical parametric amplifier (OPA) utilizing thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is a cornerstone in integrated microwave optics and high-speed optical communication due to its outstanding properties, including high gain, low noise figure, and high integration. Here, we proposed a pump-depletion nondegenerate amplifier to discuss the saturated optical power. This OPA exhibits a good performance with high gain (over 30 dB) and high saturated optical power (over 15 dBm). The signal frequency is well separated from idle which reduces the difficulties of separation. Meanwhile, we found that the quasi-phase-matching wavelength can be regulated by temperature to achieve a linear adjustable OPA. Detailed design strategies are provided in this paper to underpin the fabrication of high-performance OPA in integrated optics. This theoretical analysis creates opportunities for performance enhancement in microwave photonic links.
