“…More recently optical control in optoelectronic devices and nonlinear interaction between optical and microwave signals in semiconductor devices have gained much interest because of potential application in signal switching, mixing, and frequency modulation. Parametric amplification plays an important role in increasing sensitivity of such devices employing semiconductor photodetectors (15,16).…”

An outline of the development of microwave parametric amplifiers (paramps) is presented as an introduction. The principle of their operation is explained leading to the classification of parametric amplifiers and frequency converters. (Photoparametric amplification is also referenced.) Varactor diodes are briefly presented in order to discuss in greater detail the operation of the most significant type of paramp—the nondegenerate parametric amplifier—including gain, noise, bandwidth, and stability. Degenerate, multiple‐idler and traveling‐wave parametric amplifiers are also discussed. Then the construction of a 3.25‐GHz nondegenerate parametric amplifier is presented as a representative example.
