Abstract
Optical parametric amplification has been analyzed for the Cerenkov-idler configuration in planar waveguides. The coupled-mode theory is employed for the analysis. The coupled-mode equations are derived and the approximate analytic solution is obtained for no pump depletion. From the analytic solution, it is shown that the signal power gain can be enhanced as the Cerenkov radiation angle of the idler approaches to zero. The numerical example is also shown for the effect of the Cerenkov radiation angle approaching zero.
