LOW-NOISE OPTICAL WAVE AMPLIFICATION DEVICE

The invention relates to a low-noise amplification device of an optical wave. Signal wave (Fs) to be amplified interferes with a pump wave (Fp) in such a nonlinear medium (1) as a photorefractive crystal. To reduce the noise considerably, even to eliminate it, the establishing of noise-generating in...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a low-noise amplification device of an optical wave. Signal wave (Fs) to be amplified interferes with a pump wave (Fp) in such a nonlinear medium (1) as a photorefractive crystal. To reduce the noise considerably, even to eliminate it, the establishing of noise-generating interferences therefore is prevented by moving, by rotation around an axis O, the nonlinear medium.
