We describe, for the first time to our knowledge, experimental demonstration of a pulsed optical parametric amplifier (OPA) with 12 dB maximum gain and a CW OPA with 1.5 dB maximum gain. For the pulsed OPA demonstration, the pumps consisted of a DFB laser at 1555 nm and a tunable external-cavity laser (ECL) operating at 1533.2 nm. For the CW OPA, a 12 km dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) was used for the nonlinear gain medium because the power per pump under CW condition was only 50 mW.
