title: Polarization-interleaved WDM signals in a fiber optical parametric amplifier with orthogonal pumps.
abstract: We have demonstrated a polarization-interleaved wavelength-division multiplexed system with a two-orthogonal-pump optical parametric amplifier. The sensitivity has been improved by about 2dB compared to its counterpart with all channels co-polarized, with the same signal gain, which itself dramatically improved over the conventional two-parallel-pump OPA.
