title: Gain in phase sensitive parametric image amplification
abstract: We report an experiment of type 2 parametric image amplification in a phase sensitive configuration. In the spatial frequency domain, the parametric gain corresponds to amplification or deamplification, depending on the relative phase of the input image with respect to the pump wave and on the spatial frequencies of the input image.
