The Parametric oscillator Change parameter (moment of inertia) during oscillation. Small amplitude motion is amplified to large amplitude of swing Amplification is phase sensitive. Pumping at correct phase gives maximum amplification Pumping π/ out of phase gives maximum deamplification (squeezing).
