Abstract
We present a numerical study on the coherent sideband generation from an incoherently pumped fiber optical parametric oscillator (FOPO). We revisit the fiber dispersion condition in a parametric process that fulfills the convection-induced phase-locking mechanism when pumping incoherently. Particularly, there exist analytical solutions for phase-matching frequencies in a convection-induced phase-locking process when using a parametric gain fiber with two zero dispersion wavelengths. With the optical feedback, we manage to circulate and amplify the convection sideband in a singly resonant FOPO. The autocorrelation shows that the coherence of the oscillating convection sideband can be strongly influenced by the cavity feedback fraction.
