title: Dual-pump parametric amplification in dispersion engineered photonic crystal waveguides.
abstract: This paper describes a numerical simulation of narrow band parametric amplification in dispersion engineered photonic crystal waveguides. The waveguides we analyze exhibit group velocity dispersion functions which cross zero twice thereby enabling many interesting pumping schemes. We analyze the case of two pulsed pumps each placed near one of the zero dispersion wavelengths. These configurations are compared to conventional single pump schemes. The two pumps may induce phase matching conditions in the same spectral location enabling to control the gain spectrum. This is used to study the gain and fidelity of 40 G bps NRZ data signals.
