Which outcome occurs when an optical parametric amplifier uses an incoherent pump source?

💡 Explanation

The gain in an optical parametric amplifier decreases significantly with an incoherent pump source because parametric amplification depends on Temporal coherence of the pump light. Therefore, signal and idler gain diminishes rather than bandwidth increase that would otherwise affect spectral characteristics.
