Popis: We demonstrate an all-optical phase-sensitive amplifier, a critical component in integrated circuits for all-optical computing. The amplifier is fabricated in amorphous silicon-on-insulator and relies on thermo-optic self-heating in a ring-loaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer. changing the power and phase of the bias input tunes the gain.
