Abstract(in English) The characteristics of phase-sensitive amplifiers using optical Kerr material in interferometer are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Relationship between phase dependent gain, saturation output power, bandwidth and parameters of optical Kerr material used in the phase-sensitive amplifiers is clarified theoretically. It is shown theoretically that the maximum gain of 26 dB, bandwidth of 95 GHz, 3 dB saturation output power of 0.33 W are achieved for standard dispersion shifted fibers (DSFs) with 1 W pump power. Experimentally, the gain characteristics of optical fiber-nonlinear loop mirror employing polarization maintaining DSF are measured. The gain up to 23 dB is obtained and gain saturation due to input signal light are confirmed for the first time. The possibility of suppressing noise by utilizing the gain saturation is discussed.
