Abstract
The energy conversion efficiency is a critical factor for the practical application of the PCF-based OPO. As early as 1975, Stolen (IEEE J Quantum Electron 11(3): 100–103, 1975) demonstrated that the pump power can be effectively converted to the phase-matched signal and idler during the FWM process. An FOPA with a high gain over 70 dB has been reported (IEEE Photon Technol Let 18(10): 1194–1196), and many works have been performed to increase the energy conversion efficiency of the FOPO.
