title: Giant noise amplification in synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillators.
abstract: We show numerically that a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator can show giant noise amplification of the order of 10(9). We use pseudospectra to identify the parameter region for giant noise amplification and to estimate its magnitude.
