Official Description

Present-day devices for amplifying telecom laser light mostly produce gain by incoherently pumping a medium (optically or electrically), or by coherently pumping a nonlinear medium with a laser. Both approaches are technologically mature, and offer a range of performance tradeoffs.

In contrast, geometric amplification is a gain mechanism that has only been recently proposed, and to date it has only been demonstrated in the acoustic domain [1]. However, the principle of geometric amplification c...
