Description

In this paper we investigate the absorptive and dispersive properties in the phase-sensitive optical parametric amplification inside a cavity. First, we study the single-resonant optical parametric amplifier theoretically and experimentally. In this case, the mode splitting in the transmission spectra and the M shape in the reflection spectra are observed. However, the shape of the phase shift of the reflected field is unchanged. Then, the double-resonant optical parametric amplifier is studied theoretically, in which electromagnetically induced transparency-like effect may be emulated when the cavity linewidth for the harmonic wave is narrower than for the subharmonic field. The narrow transparency window appears in the absorption spectrum and is accompanied by a very steep variation of the dispersive profile
