The unique combination encompassing a wideband multicasting function and a gain function resulted in less than 0.5-dB power penalty and a minimum of 11.5-dB conversion efficiency with less than 1.35 dB of gain ripple.Four-photon mixingmulticastingparametric process1-to-40 10 Gb/s Channel Multicasting and Amplification in Wideband Parametric Amplifiertext::journal::journal article::research article
