High-gain mode-adapted semiconductor optical amplifier with12.4-dBm saturation output power at 1550 nm

A mode-adapted semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) has been fabricated and packaged. At the gain peak, 1500 nm, the fiber to fiber gain was measured to be 32.5 dB. Statistics for eight packaged devices indicate that a fiber-to-fiber gain of 26.3 dB ± 1.3 dB and a saturation output power of 12.4 dBm ± 0.4 dBm are typical at a bias of 500 mA for λ = 1550 nm. Polarization sensitivity at 1550 nm was measured to be 1.1 dB ± 0.4 dB and the transverse electric (TE) polarization state noise figure (NF) was determined to be 7.0 dB ± 0.5 dB. The coupling loss was 1.3 dB ± 0.1 dB per facet. This SOA, with a 1.3-nm filter, was used as an optical preamplifier in a 10-Gb/s return-to-zero (RZ) system testbed with a pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) of 2³¹ -1. A 14.5-dB improvement in receiver sensitivity was observed at a bit error rate (BER) of 10^-11     

Gain and noise penalty for detuned 980 nm pumping or erbium-dopedfiber power amplifiers

The impact of altering the fiber length and pump wavelength on the gain and noise performance of erbium-doped fiber power amplifiers pumped in the 980-nm band is examined. A gain penalty of <0.5 dB was experimentally observed over an 18 nm pump wavelength range. Theoretical analysis indicates that increasing the numerical aperture (NA) from 0.15 to 0.25 significantly improves the tolerance for a given gain penalty but has little effect on the noise figure. For a given fiber length, the noise figure increases by 0.1 dB for each 3 nm the pump wavelength deviates from 979 nm     

Broad-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier with double-passconfiguration

We demonstrate a broad-band silica-based erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with double-pass configuration. The signal gain and noise figure are obtained more than 24 dB and less than 6 dB, respectively, for 1526-1562 nm and 1569-1605 nm. The same signal gain can be achieved with 53% less pump power and 45% shorter erbium-doped fiber length, compared to a conventional parallel type EDFA. Furthermore, the noise figure and power conversion efficiency are improved for the wavelength range

From a 3.6-cm-long fiber, 18-dB internal gain, i.e., 5 dB/cm, for small signal input at 1535 nm, was achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest gain per unit length for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers ever reported     

Improved Automatic Filtered Power Control Pumping Method for Uniform Shortpass Band in Optical Fiber Communications

To form a low noise figure and uniform shortpass band in optical fiber communications an improved automatic filtered power control (AFPC) pumping method is proposed here. A modulated single laser signal was entered in a closed feedback loop, in which the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) was used as a part of the AFPC loop. Owing to the constant filtered signal and the quadrature phase shift delay inside the feedback loop, an optical pass band was uniformly formed. This EDFA attains high performance with a low noise figure simultaneously. The method was successfully applied to the fabrication of practical 12.0 m length of erbium-doped fiber pumped at 980 nm wavelength and 20 dBm power. Experiments prove that the signal gain of the loop remain flat in the range of 18.2 to 22.4 dB with a worst case error of ±0.5 dB and the noise figure was reduced by 2.2 dB at optimal, which correspond to a shortpass range of 40 nm band pass from 1525 nm to 1565 nm in wavelength. Of course, it should be possible to extent the system performance to all pumping configurations for semiconductor optical amplifiers. This provides the simplest and most economical way to transmit a well-defined band of modulated laser signal and to reject all other unwanted radiation.

Dependence of performance of saturated in-line erbium-doped fiberamplifiers on pump wavelength around 1480 nm

The effect of pump wavelength around 1480 nm on the performance of saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) suitable for use as in-line amplifiers for terrestrial and submarine systems is investigated experimentally. The results show that for high-gain amplifiers (25 dB) with high output powers (15 dBm), operating around 10 dB in compression, the performance is relatively insensitive to pump wavelength. However, for lower gain amplifiers (12 dB), pumped at low (15 mW) powers, the compression of the amplifier is found to decrease significantly with increasing pump wavelength, while the noise figure shows a weak minimum for a pump wavelength near 1480 nm
