Phase-sensitive amplification using gain saturation in a nonlinear Sagnac interferometer

Phase-sensitive amplification of picosecond optical pulses was demonstrated using an SOA as the nonlinear medium inside a Sagnac interferometer. Ratios of maximum to minimum gain of more than 3:1 were experimentally measured. Numerical simulations using a semiconductor amplifier model are consistent...
