摘要: A novel method to achieve phase‐matched light amplification in a birefringent fiber via the three‐wave mixing is proposed by using frequency shift change due stress applied fiber. It confirmed that signal power from cw laser diode at λ=1.292 μm amplified 6.1×103 times pumped with Q‐switched Nd: yttrium aluminum garnet λ=1.064 μm. This will provide new fiber‐optic amplifier having good tolerance for variation of wavelengths.
