Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a 1.56-m sample of lead-silicate W-type fiber.
  • Employing a pump-probe experimental setup.
  • Measuring phase-sensitive gain variation under varying pump power.

Main Results:

  • Successful experimental demonstration of phase-sensitive amplification.
  • Observed a phase-sensitive gain variation of 6 dB.
  • Achieved this gain with a total input pump power of 27.7 dBm in the short fiber sample.

Conclusions:

  • The lead-silicate W-type fiber exhibits excellent nonlinear properties suitable for PSA.
  • The demonstrated gain variation is significant for practical applications.
  • This fiber represents a promising platform for developing compact and efficient PSA devices.
