A new two-pump fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) is presented, which is composed of two-section high nonlinear fibers (HNLFs). Genetic algorithm (GA), a multivariate stochastic optimization algorithm is applied to optimize parameters of two fiber segments, such as the length and dispersion coefficient of fiber. A broadband FOPA with twosection HNLFs is obtained using optimum design parameters, which theoretically provides a uniform gain of 20.3 dB with 0.2-dB uniformity over a 346-nm bandwidth.
